    Applied for this new Granite card thingy 10 days ago now - didn't get straight decline or accept but a "We'll be in touch soon" message.

    Still waiting..... I'm assuming it's a decline as I've had no phone call following it up. :cool:
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
  • Lloyds are ok unless you get a CDP or 99 on your account

    Forgive my ignorance but what is a CDP and a 99?
    Keen to learn!

    Kind regards, MG

    A CPD is a credit decline policy...so if you had one you would be decline for any product you would want with Lloyds....

    Hi Brian,

    My boyfriend opened a Lloyds cash account (all he was allowed) in June '08. They upgraded him to Silver last June and gave him a credit card this Feb and offered to look at his ghastly Black Horse car loan. This week they agreed a large sum to pay that off. :beer: So they really do look at good behaviour and upgrade. This has really made a difference to us so good luck! Kind regards, MG
    Thanks MG! Don't really need the account as happy with Natwest but just wanted to get a foot in the door and hopefully build up a good relationship with another bank whilst waiting for my file to be totally clean.
    Your post has given me a bit more hope now :beer:

    It seems Next accepts payments by credit card. I was in credit on my Silver card by £50 and used that to make a payment.
