    Not on my card, I tried online but never actually clicked through it, just clicked amend limit to see what happened...... :D

    When I click amend I think it says to call the customer services? Cant really remember and CBA to check.

    I might be because this is a new account (Under 3 months?)

    IRC The_Effects was blocked for 3-6weeks but he has held his account for a while and applied and was declined. He then complained and got given £100


    I remember that. Quite a few months ago now IRC!

    Does anyone knows if with First Direct you request a credit limit increase on their credit card do they do a full search or is it just a behavorial score?

    Sygma card thread - Sorry for asking about AVU so i'll ask in here instead :(:p

    How is an application referred to them? Is it system generated or just randomly picked out?

    I have been led to believe that it is all done internally. Phone up and ask :D

    The system refers apps to AVU who have the final say so before approval and the card be sent out.

    Why would that app be referred? Just wondering for future reference. lol

    I hate Natwest, just wondered why they opened me an account a few years ago and then closed it.
