Aqua card, refused but accepted ?

Hi guys,

I've got a strange question so bare with me please.

I have a really low credit score, many defaults, 2 ccj's I really messed up in past. It's been few years since my last default etc.

Anyway... couple of weeks ago I applied for Aqua card and been approved. I haven't heard from them for over 2 weeks. I made a phone call to find out what's going on and lady informed me that my application has been passed to underwriters. I gave them a call later on only to find out that my application has been rejected.

Today I received pin to my Aqua card. ( Nearly 2 weeks after I spoke to them over the phone).

Is any of you guys had similar situation ?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi there

    To be honest it could be a number of things.

    System error which sent out the card and pin accidentally.
    Another underwriter (more experienced) may have changed the original decision. Doubtful without a request but you never know.

    To be honest I personally wouldn't use it as technically it is still the companies property and any use could be deemed fraudulent. Give them a call to check what happened and keep yourself on the safe side.

    Hope this helps.
