Aqua application duplicated

Hi all

I applied for an Aqua Classic card a couple of weeks ago, but today two cards arrived through the post. I called Aqua and they apologised and admitted that two accounts had been opened in error, and they closed one of them.

I've subsequently raised a complaint as I'm unhappy about this error. Does anyone know the full implications this may have on my credit file?

Thanks!

  • It depends how it appears. It will either be removed completely, or will show as a closed account.

    I'd imagine the first.

    Have a look on your credit files with all 3 agencies.

    Thanks for your replies.


    Just in case anyone was interested - the second card was removed from my file entirely, and Aqua settled the complaint with £25.
