  • You know when you get the ' we need to perform further checks' page when you apply - is this a precursor to a big fat no? And how long should I leave it before checking?

    Thanks

    No, its better than a no, its a kind of 'we have to look at something your credit reports thrown up', or 'you are boarderline on the scoring' reply. It will be looked at and assessed.

    When did you apply and who is it with? TBH i would leave it a few days, but its easier said than done, i tend to use the old 'my pc crashed i think the application went through but not sure so can you check for me' then ask whats the outcome! :)

    It's a shame that £3000 isn't on a 0% card. I don't think they are responsible lenders by giving people high credit limits like that, especially at their rates.

    It's been quiet in here for some time. I think the next sub-prime thread should be started so it'll be all fresh and nice smelling. :D

    I find industrial bleach works just as good. 3 parts bleach 1 part sulfuric acid will eat away at anything and leaves that lovely bleachy smell. :rotfl:
