For the next 6 years I won't be applying for anything- I just thought using a basic account would make my future applications harder to be accepted for because I've not used a full current account.
Not necessarily. In relation to lenders a current with a credit limit (with an overdraft) may be better than a current account without a credit limit (no overdraft). It's about showing you can manage credit.0
