    Just wanted to add that I recieved a Letter from Citibank today to say that I had also been accepted for their account with Visa Delta Card, even though i'm 3 months into an IVA

    Makes such a difference to day-to-day life when you have a 'Proper' debit card.. I only wish I had signed up via quiqco, But never mind.

    I am in a DMP

    have applied for this last week......how long did they take to get back to you and let you knoe you had been accepted?

    Also am I right in thinking you can use Lloyds TSB for counter service?

    Bus drivers rock! Except when they think they have a god-given right to indicate and pull out as (not before) a car is overtaking it. Rarrr!

    SAU, it took about a week to get back an application form for me to sign then 10 days until I got accepted. You're right about LTSB but I think it takes 3 working days for cash to reach your account that way.

    Hiya Skintasusual,
    Mind took about two weeks from applying online to Card arriving, When using Lloyds Branches it takes 4 days for cash and 7 days for cheques to arrive in your account. If you have cheques it would probably be quicker to Post them direct to Citibank, which I think you can do.

    James - I knew it wouldn't be long before someone mentioned Bus Drivers Pulling out of stops LOL ;)

    LOL. I wouldnt mind if they at least indicate first. The other day some muppet bus did that to me and I gave him a good blast of my horn. Very satisfying! ;)
