  • I wish I was so lucky, dispite being instantly approved a couple of days for an MBNA card I thought I would do a credit check (£6.50 into quidco, afterall), I almost wish I hadn't.

    I have three credit cards, two from ages ago which I never use, both of these are showing old records reporting that I failed to make payments - never - I always pay off the whole balance.

    I am showing an application last August for a card, which I never made.

    and, yes there is an and, they reckon I am not on the Electoral Register, funny that 'cos, guess what, I am, might have something to do with their credit report showing a different address to the one they have on file.

    I want to apply for an American Express to get that 5%, now I am worried that it will adversely affect my credit score/history.
