kaMelo said:Opening sixty or seventy current accounts with Virgin is, to my mind, a slight exaggeration from the representative. I would normally say multiple credit searches are nothing to worry about but I have no idea how any other lender might view sixty credit searches within twelve months.
Despite there being no limit written into the original current account terms they did eventually say "enough is enough." Whilst my evidence is anecdotal rather than scientific, I would say remove a 0 from the numbers quoted as a more accurate figure to when they would do that.
I’ll refrain from guessing how many multiples people managed to get 🤣0 -
