    Vanquis have upgraded my credit limit. I have jumped from £250 to £750 YAY! I didn't think I would ever be in a position to upgrade.

    I am not going to go and blow it though ;)

    thats good, did you ask to increase limit or did they just do it ? How long have you been with vanquis?

    Hi Guys
    Thought I would phone Barclays for an update on my application for their Bank account and Barclaycard Initial, weird thing happened, the lady on phone says"There is a problem with your ID, can you take ID into local branch and they will open it for you" took my ID to branch, and their system would not let application go through, so lady in bank has put in an appeal, so will keep you updated, the only thing I can think of is I am in process of getting late hubbies details taken off my Experian file but funny thing is they have done a search using Equifax. Rather confused now and a little bit worried:confused:

    ;) fairmorn, are you back at home now? did you row yourself back?
  • I've been with Vanquis for nearly 3 years now and never had a problem, though my limited is £500, which I pay off every month! :D

    I have just been accepted by A&L for a new bank account (no overdraft or credit cards) and just waiting to hear back from Flybe and Capital One.
    Hopefully I'll get one of them accepted with a decent limit, which I'll pay back when my work bonus comes in at the end of November.
    Remember, an Aardvark is not just for Christmas....
