you could still order it, if it arrives then they decide to pull the credit limit you can still pay monthly, thats what i asked when i rang them the first time they said it wont affect your payments and your credit file ect but i think it seems to be happening a lot, didnt london have this with his next??self confessed 80's throwback:D

The problem would be that there would be a balance on your credit file but no credit limit and it would look weird.0 -

I prefer the stuff in Littlewoods but the credit limits from JD Williams are much better, but i guess in time Littlewoods limit will go up again. It's £600 at the moment.
Do you have a Maestro card and OD with Natwest? I can't remember.0
