Eligibility Check

Our Natwest Eligibility check showed we would be accepted for a Balance Transfer card. But when we tried to apply it was declined. Does this happen often? and what can we do about it?

    Yes. No application is ever guaranteed.

    You can apply with another provider.

    Check your credit files for a start, make sure everything is as it should be.

    Ignore any credit score they may give.

    This happened to me. I asked for a explanation but they wouldn’t or couldn’t. They weren’t really interested, I switched to someone else who gave me exactly what I wanted. Just try elsewhere.
