  • quick question.

    i'm not really sub prime, im just new to the whole credit thing (turned 18 6 montha ago woo hoo) ive gt 2 ulster cards (£500 limit) n gt the £100 cheque thingie from MBNA n various catalogues with credit limits ranging from 150 to 500. (about 4)

    what i want to now is do any of you have an overdraft with your bank?

    did it say credit scoring? leave it 3 months and re apply. It will be the amount of time you have been with the bank and your age.
  • yea due to credit scoring, even know ive never missed a payment or been over any limit on my credit accounts

    Happy Halloween :grin:

    Just had my first trick or treater. I don't mind the little kiddies but it's the teens who just wear a mask that get on my nerves. Just been to walk my dog and this police car pulled over 4 lads cos they were wearing masks and scaring people - uh hello, it's Halloween lol. Mind you, I wouldn't go out any later than now anyways.

    I'm more prepared this year. Got a load of sweets and lollies from Co-Op. Last year I didn't get any sweets in and ended up giving away all my crisps, choccie, cakes and Diet Coke lol. Had no junk food left!! Am holding onto it this year lol

    Anyone up to anything spooky tonight :eek:

    Ooh, I almost forgot.......IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
