in Credit cards
I recently read an article on here about credit cards for people wioth bad credit, and based on the assesment tool, I made an application for the Capital One credit card. At the end of the application, I was shown a message stating that I had been accepted, but I havent received a confirmation email or any sort of correspondence since that day.
Has anyone else had the same experience?
Any advice?
Thank you

When was it? I'm sure I recieved my first letter pretty quickly, a week later maybe? If you ring them, they will find your details on their system.0

I recieved an email from them asking for me to sign up to their online services before I recieved anything through the post, come to think of it I didn't receive a welcome letter, just the PIN first then the card. Took a week to receive the email them a further week for card and PIN.0

Congrats and good luck
They've been really good to me, 6 months after an opening I got a credit limit increase and then moved on to a prime-card. 0 -
How long did you have to wait for the email from being told you were accepted?0

Just ring them it isn't that difficult.0 -
Yes I do have that revolutionary device known as a phone so I might phone them when I have more time.

The first actual notification I had been accepted was receiving my card in the post a week or so later.
I didn't receive an email stating my application had been accepted.
Good luck.0
