Virgin Card - Rejected Me

blacksta

I have a credit score of 900 from Experian but was turned down for virgin card
could it be because i am self employed.

I'd say its a combination of amount of debt and self employed

Hi

should i have rather say on the application that i am an employee of the company

I think self employed is always a tricky one when you apply for credit, how long have u been self employed?

Curious but have you actually phoned them and asked if there's a specific reason why you were rejected? You can appeal the rejection also!

I have been self employed since April 2006 / PLease advice how i can appeal the decision.

Thanks

I can't really give advice on appealing its not something i've done, i just know its possible, do a search, i'm sure its been discussed a few times and i'm pretty sure there's sample letter to use somewhere!
