Egg Card Appeal

I applied for an Egg Green on Thursday but was declined. I sent an e-mail off saying I would be able to send off documentation such as bank statements and pay slips for a year and evidence of my savings accounts (£15000 in all spread between an ISA and a notice account). Got a phone call this afternoon from an underwriter who askedmy questions like where do you work, where are your savings and why on earth do you want a credit card anyway?

Put on hold for 3 minutes.

"Hello there. I have just overturned that decision for you"

Thank you very much!

It really is worthwile appealing.

What kind of credit limits do Egg offer as I would like to start adding money to my Abbey savings?
