Sygma Silver Card

Hi All,

I'm a discharged Bankrupt and I recevtly got a Vanquis Card with £250 limit, I also applied online for Silver Mastercard and was told they "will be in touch" or something like that. Has anyone ever had a vague answer like that when applying? If so did you get accepted and how long did you wait before hearing?

I am not getting into debt again just trying to build my credit history again:)

Thanks,
ROML

    I'd expect a decline.

    Even if I didn't get a flat NO when I applied online?

    Yes. despite accepting people that haven't got a perfect credit history, it's still essentially a mainstream credit product, and discharged bankrupts are the least popular people in the world to lend money to.
