    While a tad offtopic, I was wondering if anyone knows what Barclays expect you to put as your employment status if you are a full time student. I used the letmechoose pre-check and was rejected, but I wonder if this was because I selected unemployed.

    I don't want to be fraudulent but it isn't really obvious in this case. Other companies have student as an option, but I'd rather go with Barclays as they seem like the best option as I've banked with them for a long time

    I think you'll find that the correct grammar is: They would "have" looked on your Equifax...

    Oh and on the subject of grammar, it's "I" not "i".

    Your personal pronoun always starts with a capital letter ;)
