    It's neither. Lots of us had instant acceptance and credit limits from the Bank of Ireland when we applied online or over the phone for its Post Office card.

    Provided that your ID can be checked electronically from the electoral register, you'll not need to submit any documents ;)

    I've been on the electoral roll at this address for at least 7 years. I think I'll just do what Jonesy said and tell them to stuffit! Besides, with my wife's spending record I reckon £1000 credit limit wont cut it! Thanks to all who contributed.
