    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.
    Nope, no overdraft and no maestro yet, got Advantage Gold but stuck with solo. Need to ring them, hope my £12.95 per month may work slightly in my favour. NEVER bounced a cheque and had no charges for years.

    I would go into the branch and ask them for a Servicecard upgrade or you could apply for one. Just again go into the branch and ask for a Servicecard application form.

    You can apply on-line for OD they might of even given you a Pre authorised amount on there.

    Had a look at overdrafts online hoping for a pre- authorised limit, nothing showing but didn't go further.. That was around December, still searched Equifax though even though I exited the application :confused:

    When you imput data in the begining that is when they credit searched you!

    Was it a "un recorded" search or full?

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: . The Little Chef is having a re-launch thanks to Heston Blumenthal! I watched the programme last week. Really good show.

    I thought Grease was in the 1970s!:rotfl: .

    Full search.. All the form is pre-filled, then got to the box accepting terms and conditions.. ticked and credit search, next box "how much would you like at which point I exited.
    Had I known that search had been done would have carried on.. nothing to lose
