Been turned down for everything

  • After I got the message to say I had been accepted , I got a call today to confirm my details and said the paperwork was on its way to sign. Strange thing is when I checked Equifax/Experian , I have no searches registered at all ? Anyone else had this...

    The search is done by Sygma Bank ... It showed on immediately on my Equifax file ...

    Never mind
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Thanks for this ... I've applied for one of there Donate As Your Spend cards and they have indeed only searched Equifax! Which is just as well as there are hardly any searches on there .... :o

    Awww.. I got declined for the DAYS card ... Shame really, I would have prefered a CC that did abit of good whilst being used. The only thing I can think is that I'm not showing on the electoral roll yet at my new address with Equifax although I have been added and it does show on Experian ... :confused:

    Yeah , when I applied - it took around 1 minute and then it came up , congratulations etc. I then had a phone call at work to confirm who I was and then two days later the paperwork was there to sign , which I have sent back now. But as I said previously , no searches have been done on Equifax/Experian - not that there is anything bad - which I found strange.

    That's only happened with my Halifax CC ... It's a great feeling when you get an immediate decision.
