    Ok, fingers crossed. I'm sure Fairmorn posted that he was offered an overdraft with them. But did he apply for the CC as well?

    hello everyone,
    i know this post has nothing to do with credit cards, but i wasnt sure where else to post it. i may also be teaching my grandmother to suck eggs too but thought some ppl may not know!!
    there is a home shopping catalogue that is great for building up/trying to better you credit score.
    home shopping direct, is a company who have alot of different brand names and each one in the group is a separate catalogue, they dont appear to credit check when applying for an account but they report to both equifax and experian when you have an account. for anyone struggling to be accepted with the other major catalogues this is worth trying. i have an account with two of the catalogues in the group, and they begin with a limit of 125 pounds, not a lot i know but it does get increased if you manage the account correctly and more importantly helps to better your credit file.
    they also sell gorgeous shoes!!!!
    anyway hope im telling you something you dont already know, if not it may help someone out there. :beer:
