    Yeah it's screwed. I do bank with barclays though so maybe that makes a diff!?
    Really hope I get accepted for sigma but it's highly unlikely considering aqua refused me!!!!

    Sygma only check Equifax, so if your file with them is half decent you should not have a problem getting one but you may get a small limit around 1K with apr of either 19.9 or perhaps 24.9

    Have 4 accounts showing. 3 of them all green :) and one loads of ap's and late payments for an overdraft my wife ran up which incurred the horrific charges cycle. This is screwing me up :(

    That will not look good, might be a decline.

    Sygma didn't decline outright which I guess is a slightly positive thing.

    This won't be a Barclaycard Initial.

    They've upgraded you to Gold or Platinum. As the APR on Barclaycard Initial is 24.9% ~ 29.9% :o
