why cant I open an account, I got denied on barclays, they said I had to go in to confirm identity as they could not id me. I applied for one with RBS they sent me an application to sign and bring to a branch with ID, i did that and it passed the ID, yet I have received no correspondence for a week now!
my history is clear on Experian with a score of 700

The score means nothing.
No correspondence for a week - because they can't work fast.
Clear history is always a problem because the computers that rule everywhere don't have any information to say YES or NO and require human intervention.0 -
When you say clear credit history do you not have any other credit comitments?Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0

So you have heard nothing for a week, that means nothing, these things can take time
You haven't been denied at all by Barclays they just need to Id you docs physically.
You need to take a step backFor everthing else there's mastercard.
For clampers there's Barclaycard.0
