    Definitely :o Consider Capital One Classic and Aqua before Vanquis as they are cheaper to service ;)

    After above advice I applied for Aqua and got letter today asking to sign credit agreement and return form. Does this mean I have definately been accepted?

    At the bottom of reply slip (in the 'for office use only' bit), it says the following:-

    450 Ref No. XXXX Name.

    Does this mean my credit limit will be £450?

    Thanks

    Yes,

    and Yes (I presume you mean the first three digits in the "Don't mark below this line" line?)

    Well done! :beer: Had a bash for the Cap 1 Classic?

    Seems like I am back on the road again. :j

    Thanks for your initial advice and feedback on above. Is it OK to apply for a Cap 1 classic now or will it be too many searches? Cap 1 were previously one of my creditors on the DMP (until I reclaimed charges !!) so a bit dubius about applying.
  • got declined by aqua

    will try again in 6 months

    two to three credit searches in six months is fine, any more and it's time to hold off for a while.

    A lot of people who ran into trouble with Capital One have been re-accepted as a customer, some whilst they are still paying off an old cap 1 default!

    Hi

    I received a letter in the post ( a standardised one) - to say I had automatically accepted for Vanquis. Fill in this form and send back ....

    Does that mean I will def get a vanquis card or is it just a marketing tool?

    If you check the working it probably says you've been auto accepted to apply for a Vanquis card ;)

  • I applied and sucessfully got the vanquis card a couple of weeks ago, so today I thought I would apply for capital one, a message came up at the end after the 3 green ticks saying they needed to do some additional checks and would contact me in 7 days. Is this a bad sign? lol
    TIA
