  • Defaulted bank account from late 2008. Otherwise perfect payment history. No CCJs etc.

    Apart from the default you have a perfect payment history which means at the moment your credit report is screwed due to the default.

    I do love these posts!

    It's like someone selling a car and saying its Absoulutly fantastic inside and out but Unfortuantly it doesn't start.

    Without teaching your grandmother to suck eggs, it'll be the defaulted bank account then that is causing that APR and credit limit.

    I'd be perfectly happy with the APR and credit limit that the soft search indicated. I just want a credit card. I don't want to run up big balances on it

    How about this then if it makes you feel better you've got a spotless credit report that has a default on it which is not really looked at as a negative for a lender as the customer bless him/her could of forgot about the debt and the letter box where the debt letters were going could of been broke or the letters stolen.

    What does 'could of' mean? Is it similar to could HAVE?:eek::eek:

    Wooo hoooo - just phoned Nationwide to find out where the heck is the card / paperwork and they said I was approved on 30 August (applied on 27th) so they are resending me the paperwork to sign then they said the card will be delivered in 7 - 10 days after that. I don't know where the original paperwork has gone though. Asked if the offer changed that I accepted and they said its still the same. 19.9% with £3200 limit 0% on purchases for 6 months.. So goodbye CAP1!!

    There really is no need to turn this forum into the Jeremy Kyle show.

    Yes brand new year has a default which at a glance looks to be around 4 years old, it's not the end of the world Star Fire.
