    I'm quite chuffed with it. The APR is not extortionate and I have never gone overlimit or been late or missed a payment. That along with my Vanquis (paid in full every month), Next Directory, JD Williams catalogue and Orange mobile contract I should have plenty of green [0] on my credit report.

    The only things pulling me down are the default, moving house recently (just been added to the Electoral Roll and this has been updated with Equifax and Experian), too many searches (me being stupid - I have scaled back greatly) and a few too many CIFAS flags (application fraud because I wasn't working due to disability and I was told by different companies to put my employment status as unemployed and by others as retired so this has caused the flags to be put on my file because the application details differed)

    Evening All,

    I received the Credit Agreement from Littlewoods today. Have you guys actually signed it and sent it back? I know I didn't with my Next account, but I didn't want to get into trouble in case I'm supposed to :confused:

    My MBNA £100 cheque cleared today also, does anyone know how long it will be before the card arrives?

    thanks!


    Any ideas? Anyone that had to pay the £100 deposit actually received their card yet and if so how long did it take?

    Ta! ;)

    When I applied you couldn't apply online (like you can now); I had to do the old paper application, post it and await the decision. They are fantastic as a company - really clear statements, easy enough to increase credit limits (I rang them and they told me what I could have) and, as I have a DD set up for a minimum payment, they allow extra payments and still take the DD in full - which is great if you want to pay down the balance as quickly as possible.

    edit - it is an instant decision
