    Is it? I read about 45 pages and I could not find an answer...

    sorry..

    Sorry mate. To summarize just because a lender claims it will give you an instant decision doesn't mean they actually will. Saying they will write to you is very very common indeed. it doesn't mean yes or no. It means "maybe".
  • Electoral Register next week:

    A lot of us, me included, will be added to the Electoral Register as of 1st December. Can anyone shed light on what that means? Will Equifax and Experian update our info on 1st December itself?

    Hey guys, havent had the chance to come here lately but had to come in and let you know about mbna. used my mbna card in tesco this morning - no probs. just went to use it online and it was declined :eek: bearing in mind out of £500 limit i have about 400 available i phoned up to find out what was going on. i was put through to their 'risk' assessment dept who told me the card has been blocked and will be closed when paid.. thisis due to finding adverse info on equifax. that info was there when i applied so why cancel now? im fuming! she also gave the impression i wouldnt get my £100 back until i insisted and she checked with cs who said when the balance is nil i can have it. im fuming!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:


    Hi, just resurrecting your post as I was reading the equifax thread which related to Sygma bank putting fraud markers on peoples files.
    I was curious as to whether you have applied for a sygma card (flybe, jjb, etc) recently?
    Just worried that this may now affect more people if mbna are going to withdraw cards??

    If you have been affected I would check your file for the fraud marker and challenge it.
  • Hi

    Could anyone who has the flybe card tell me how long they had to wait for there first statement after it was issued ?

    cheers

    That's awful! I've read the posts from people saying Sygma have done fraud searches on them but I didn't realize anyone had actually been given a fraud marker by them. Terrible!

    Hi Everyone,

    I have just checked my file and they have put a fraud marker on my file, how do I resolve this and get it removed..It is on Equifax!!

    Any help much appreciated :eek:
    :eek: Debts: Capitalone £0, Vanquis £220, LX Direct £1197, Mutual £1107, JD Williams £23 :eek:

    what does the marker say?
    How many cards issued by them have you applied for?
