  • helicopter been canceled :( totaly crap always the same never got off in time yet.

    I had a very basic account with them and it had no overdaft etc. I incurred bank charges from them with put me into a debt with them and it mounted up and they put a default on my account. Good thing is I never did pay the charges and they closed the account but i took them to court and got all charges back from them. They got there money by selling the debt anyway.

    My OH said they sent me a letter asking to pop in and see the manager of my local bank. I think if i go it will be with a voice recorder.

    So the default was due to unlawful bank charges

    I have 18 defaults registered with Experian and over 50 searches but no CCj.
    I think all what they care about is: to be in the electoral roll for few years and No CCj.

    Good Luck to all

    Why has the helicopter been cancelled? Is it due to bad weather. That sucks.

  • Well i have a couple that show green - and some very ugly reds

    I hadnt applied to anyone for ages untill the other day - the only thing i kept trying to upgrade my step a/c - even on friday i received a call from someone in my branch - who said he was calling to upgrade me etc - anyway once again decline - the guy said he appealed with head office - becauese my account is run well - but they said NO

    do you have any adverse credit mate??
    well done on the card not a bad limit when the sub prime card wont touch you:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    My background is probably a bit different from most...

    I have some horrendous adverse credit mostly dated around 2003. 2 very sizable CCJ's (Thousands not hundreds) and double figures on the default count.

    In 2004 I landed a well paid job and have progressed my career since then allowing me to really improve my situation over the past few years. I haven't missed a payment or even gone overdrawn in years... however my past is STILL causing me issues.

    I had to get my mortgage with Accord under their "near prime" rating and still only have a basic bank account and have been declined for a regular account many times.

    I've also been declined by every sub prime credit card company inside the past 12 months until Flybe accepted me for a prime card this week.

    I got an instant approval online too, didn't have to wait 7-10 days for underwriter to decline which is my usual response.
