in Credit cards
Not a specific credit card query but i'm hoping someone can explain why it happend.
When the new ipad came out over a month ago i tried to get one on contract with three 32gb 159 pounds this was refused when i was credit checked. My credit isn't bad i just don't have lots of history although its improved alot since last june. I decided to buy it outright but each time i tried i got a long delay in delivery so put it off. I looked at my credit file at the weekend and no 3 credit search appeared so foolish or not and since i still wanted one i did it again and this time i was successful could someone explain how one month i was refused but then a month later i was accepted ?
