credit rating

Hi all,

I've already asked this question elsewhere, but think it may be in the wrong place!

I applied online today to my bank for a loan (repay my OD!) , and the response was that they needed me to ring for a chat before they made a decision. Will this affect my credit rating in a negative way?

thanks x

    Well....they probably have done a full search already so having a chat with them will do no harm....it does not mean it will get accepted so if decline only the search will show....

    I was applying for the card and they needed a chat, just to confirm that you are person from the application form and that the details you've put are correct.
