  • applied for a cap one card (not a basic one), and got a letter saying that as I still had a capone card they could not process my new application (old card was the basic one with a £200 limit I have had for about 6 years and not used in 3). the letter had an option to tick a box saying "please cancel my existing card and apply again", so I ticked that, since I never use the card.

    hi lynton,
    no they didnt really laugh at me i was joking!!!

    i would give them a ring its worth knowing if you have been accepted, it only took a couple of minutes.
    i have two defaults on my file which shouldnt be there and i am in process of getting them removed now, they did say i had been declined due to adverse info on my file so i will wait till its clear to try again.
    good luck

    let us know how you go on x

  • Hi guys,

    Hope you can help. I had a Monument card which I took out in 2003. I maintained it and they upped my limit yearly until it reached £5k. Then I think it was about a year or so ago I received a letter stating that Barclaycard had taken over/bought out Monument and that my account would be transferred over to them. Barclaycard then sent me a Platinum Barclaycard, same credit limit, it was as if nothing had changed except the card design. I recently checked my credit file and it states that my Monument account is closed and a new file created for the Barclaycard card (same date as Monument account was closed).

    My question is this, if Barclaycard bought out/took over Monument, how come after reading the past few pages of this thread some people have applied for/still have cards with Monument?

    And secondly, does this mean I could re-apply for a new Monument card since my old card account was transferred/cancelled?

    :confused:
