    yeah give them a ring you may get a nice surprise, if not then at least you know the answer and can forget about it.
  • Hi Guys :j

    How are all fellow sub-primers today?? Any more MBNA cards received yet?

    I was looking at mortgages last night, and I reeeeeeeeealllllly want a One Account. But I doubt I will pass the credit score :( I'm going to wait until January before I remortgage so we shall see how the land lies then :)

    This thread had fallen to the second page - what's going on lol

    Thanks no card yet but cant be too far away, cant wait for shiny new card, still waiting on deciscion on Tesco card.

    Any sign of that card yet?

    I think I am as bad as mbna as I haven't actually posted the forms back yet and I've had them a week!!
    It was the £25 annual fee that worried me so I applied for barclaycard - just waiting for them to get back to me, hope it is a yes........but doubt it. :D

    :T Excellent. I have no patience and decided to send my agreement back rather than wait for the inevitable no from barclaycard!

    MBNA card hit my door step today and it looks a lot less subprime in design than my other cards Lol .Got the hard sell on Payment Protector when I activated the card which I said no to. Signed up for the online account management which looks straight forward.

    Am now most defiantly riding the subprime wave:D with Cap1, Monument, Vanquis and now MBNA all packed in my wallet the only one that escaped me was Aqua ah well Seems Aqua use Equifax for applications when I looked at this report a few days back there was still an account that had not been marked as satisfied/settled which is I think why I got turned down.:(

    I shall of course keep you all informed of any progress such as limit raises and card upgrades. Since a few of us got the MBNA card around the same time I’d be keen to see who gets upgraded/limit increased first so please post any progress.

    Does anyone know when a credit card provider reviews an account do they check your credit file again to see what other accounts you have and what there credit limits are ? The only reason I ask is my Cap1 card was stuck on £200 limit what seemed forever but thinking about it went up to £800 shortly after Vanquis increased my limit to £2000 didn’t know if the two might be related or just coincidence.
