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"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance.0 -

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!
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....0 -
