    You are over half-way there. They will confirm a few things, income and contact details and that will be that. You should have it all done by Friday if not before.

    I applied over the week-end (after seeing this thread), just had the phone call and been accepted. 59.9% interest:eek: but I won't be paying it obviously as it'll be paid off in full every month.

    Been discharged just over three months and not done a file clean-up yet.

    They didn`t with my wife or me. To be honest they will most probably know anyway by checking the CRA`s.

    No BR question....it was pretty much just confirming what I'd already put on the application. Asked me if they could set up a minimum payment direct debit (before telling me if I'd been accepted or not so maybe how you answer that has some bearing) which I agreed to.

    Tried to sell me something that they emphasised wasn't payment protection, though it sounded remarkably similar, which I declined. Asked if I wanted an immediate cash advance:rotfl:which I politely refused.

    Can't remember what my credit limit is but it doesn't matter as I only plan to spend £10 a month on it and hopefully it'll be more than that:).

  • Well, had the phonecall today and have been excepted!

    Quite surprised. offered me a cash advance etc which I turned down.

    feels strange and scary to think of having a credit card again.

    Im well aware though of the very high intrest rate etc and will be using a lot of care in using it and paying off in full.

    thanks to everyone for all the advice and info.

    That's brilliant news and gives me hope for applying in a few months.
    When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN :D
