Declined a Bank Of Scotland current account

I went into Bank Of Scotland today to try open a Classic Current Account, which I thought I'd get, but was surprised to be told that they could only offer me a cash account.

I've never missed a payment on anything but could it be because I opened an:

RBS c/a : December 2012
HSBC c/a : May 2013
Nationwide c/a : March 2013
Amex charge card : June 2013
Barclaycard : March 2013

+ a few other credit searches

Or is this still not enought to be declined a current account ?

    I am in a similar position, anyone know how long I need to leave it before I can apply again for the account I was rejected for, or another account?

    Most will make you wait at least 6 months before reapplying. Trying sooner will sometimes get you rejected without even checking your credit report.
