I checked noddle and clearscore and nothing is showing, so can only assume it is experian hsbc check. However I am not signed up so cannot confirm this.0

They searched Experian for me.0

I just applied for this one. They searched Experian. I'm unsure if I've been approved. I called and the lady said that they're still processing my application.0

I applied because of this thread, applied Monday night got acceptance letter a week later and the card today. So just over 2 weeks in all. Got accepted with a £5500 limit.
Initial registering and online banking is absolutely awful though0 -
I've put in an application because of this thread too. Not expecting an acceptance as I've been declined by Aqua and Barclaycard Initial but thought I'd give it a shot. Applied Sunday

Credit Card Applications are weird... I've been reclined by nationwide and halifax, yet i was approved by American Express and HSBC.
That stupid Scoring system is a farce.• HSBC (Main A/C)
• Halifax Back up A/C
• Lloyds (Spending) A/C
• RBS Back up A/C
• Barclays Old A/C
• Nationwide Old A/C0 -
Hahah, approved by Nationwide and Lloyds, declined by American Express. Unsure about HSBC. Was approved by Aqua and Barclays.0

I think I will apply too, a card with a £5k limit could come in handy if I ever get into a tight spot.
I have a capital one card with a £250 limit but I don't think think I have ever used it, just doesn't make sense to borrow such a small amount.0 -
I almost can't believe they'd give such a generous limit unless someone was A* perfect! Expecting my decline letter anyway now lol. My Capital One card is a £750 limit but I'd like to transfer if possible to a lower interest.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.
