    Well I have had four credit cards off my bank for stoozing purposes in the last four years, none of which generated a credit search. If your bank account is squeaky clean, I would suggest you will have a better chance. But then I work for the bank concerned so that might have had an influence.


    My one neither. Also it doesn't even provide repayment history to any credit agency :mad:
