    Applied with Cahoot (as they only use Equifax) and was conditionally accepted for an account and credit card.

    Will have to wait and see now.

    Hi mate, well I got Cahoot thanks in part to it only using Equifax.

    Very impressed with Cahoot - got cards this week - much quicker than Capital One. Good interest on Card (12%).

    I was accepted and got my Capital One card earlier this week - took almost three weeks to arrive. Really don't think much to their customer service, which transfers to some godforsaken part of the world somewhere where no one speaks very much English!

    Rate is crap at 29ish% APR which won't matter as I will be paying back in full each month.

    No deposit required and a reasonable credit limit.

    Thanks for everyone's help in this thread.
