    Another Aqua question

    How long after you've received your pin should I receive the card?

    I think they say allow 7 days.

    I got both within 6.
    Capital one £200 - bal nil. Aqua £350 - bal nil
    Vanquis limit [STRIKE]£250[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£750[/STRIKE] £1250 - bal £450. Nat West overdraft limit - £300, unused. JD Willaims limit [STRIKE]£400 [/STRIKE] [STRIKE] £600 [/STRIKE] £900 - bal £90.
    Very limit £400 - balance £329 (buy now pay 2011!)

    Well, according to their web-site you need to have a good credit history, no defualts, payment arrears or CCJ's, I have a few missed payments from November last year, on an old bank account being reported, nothing since, no defaults, and no CCJ's and I couldn't get a card, so how does this figure?

    I have a satisfied default and I got a Silver card, which is issued by sygma, with a £1000 limit at that particular point.

    You'd still have to apply and get credit searched to see if they'll give you one. I applied for a £100 overdraft on the day it appeared on my online banking and it was a flat out decline.

    I'm going to try applying again right now, to see what happens. The only reason I could think why they declined was because I had too many searches.
