  • Cahoot seem to pop up more than I would have thought and the big four banks less than I would have thought, but the biggy seems to be Egg for whatever (probably now sadly historic) reasons. MBNA (whether their own cards or one of Virgin, Abbey (IIRC) et al) pop up a lot as well and people don't seem to have many good words to say about them!!
    I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

    Nice one endo :T but I do think that there are a few additional requirements before you can get a credit card from Coutt's - perhaps they should be held up as an example of responsible lending.:beer:

    Good idea Rog2 and if we get into cashflow difficulty we can raise taxes.
    seriously tho, I used to know someone who worked there and although they have a reputation for never bouncing a cheque, they do have bad debtors but never go public with them

    I don't ever recall seeing Coutts here :rolleyes: I doubt they have any customers that owe them money :confused:

    I've seen pretty much everyone else now. Including the Bank of mom and dad :rotfl:

    MBNA, Egg and Capital One seem to be the most mentioned in terms of credit cards. Halifax for banks

    MBNA regular one, Barclaycard too but at least the APR from MBNA is better.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Hi
    I was wondering the opposite. Which bank/credit card don't you see on here. I can't recall seeing Coutes !!!
    (Altho a new poster I've been a lurker for ages)

    I haven't seen anyone with a picture loan, I doubt most DFW's are daft enough with their crazy payments! (Remember the add where you'd pay back 47k on a 25k loan? MADNESS!)
