    I was discharged 4 months ago - i've done a clean up and applied yesterday. I've had a message to say someone will call me in the next 3 days to confirm - not sure if that means yes or no!

    Another good idea for credit build up is a clothing catalogue - just purchase a pack of socks or something from Next - worth a try as it will open a credit account.

    I was accepted yesterday! 4 months after Discharge.

    Really pleased... start credit building now :beer:
  • be prepared for an annoying number of PPI calls though.....even though numerous times told them we're not interested they still call day & night (sneaky as well use different telephone/area numbers each time)

    I never give my phone number out to anybody. I always give a number out that I have previously used but no longer do.
