    Finally HSBC have set up there details on my credit files. After nearly 2 months.

    EDIT Equifax only so far, Experian it's still not showing, maybe tomorrow after their updates.

    I have received an alert and they have just updated my Equifax file too. My account was opened on 30th June, so it took lees than a month.

    Hey all

    Just a bit of advice please. Recently applied and got accepted for a Capitial one card (the credit builder on) with a limit of £500. As I am trying to rebuild my credit history, I was advised to also apply for an Aqua card, which I have now done. From past experience does anyone know how easy it is to get this card and will they contact me by phone or post.
    Thanks for any help given

    I've got both cards, Aqua gave me a higher limit than Cap1... They will contact you by post - although I had to phone them to clarify information, but they wrote to me telling me to phone, so yea you'll get a letter :)
