Really annoyed at Woolworths and Littlewoods

I have been refused for a shopping account with both Woolworths online and Littlewoods online. The Woolies one happened just before Christmas and Littlewoods happened today.
Being paranoid about ID fraud etc, I subscribed to Experian and checked my account and there was nothing unexpected at all.
I have a small mortgage which has always been paid religiously every month with overpaments making my monthly amount 250% of the actual instalment.
I have had a credit card, purely for Tesco points, which is paid in full every month and always has been - I use it for absolutely everything so there's a lot going through it but balance is always £0 at the end of the month.
So, why do I keep getting refused accounts?

Don't know why you are getting refused specifically but as Littlewoods and Woolworths are the same company it could go some way to explaining it.
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
