    The application still has to go through AVU but I am sure that it will go through as he has no adverse.

    With 30 searchers i would of been surprised if blockbuster would of give him a membership card TBH.

    Well, I have a First Direct 1st account with overdraft, capitalone credit card (£800 limit) and a few others accounts... so obviously it's not too much of a problem. Most are over 6 months old as well.
