    It sounds like the dreaded AVU have struck again. I don't think you'll receive your card. Basically, your application was originally accepted, but has been declined upon further checking by the Natwest/RBS Application Verification Unit (AVU). If you do a forum search, you will see many posts similar to yours I'm afraid.
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:

    if you get your card then the acc will likely to be fully open

    the 'AVU' seem to like making decisions last minute just like that

    Really appreciate that guys. I'll give this AVU a search, sounds very un-organized.

    Cheers.


    [edit] Just read a few of these threads & i definitely don't want to go with Natwest now, even barcaly's seem to be doing the same.
