  • good for you lets know what you get is your credit rating really poor? I applied for flybe got declined yesterday but not even seen a search on the credit file.

    so you weren't put off applying by the CIFAS possibility then?

    Don't worry Giruzz, there's loads of pages and sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees lol.

    Quite a few people have had the 7-10 day reply, and more often than not, the card has just popped through the letterbox! I think more people are accepted than rejected, but they like to keep you waiting! If you haven't heard anything after the 10 days, then a quick phone call should do the trick :) Hope that helps :)


    Hi Sammy,

    You were right. Today I found a letter from capital one. It is the contract, it mention a 34.9% interest and 'up to 2500' GBP credit.

    Funny enough...my gf did not qualify for a Nationwide debit card :-)


    I will keep you posted

    Hi guys,

    Equifax want £70 for a year's membership and Experian want £50. Is it better to go for both or just one?
    wouldn't it be cheaper just to send them £2 each for a paper copy of your credit file, coz it'll be the same info thats on there.

    Evening homies, whats happening?
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Evening everyone,

    I applied to them online, got an instant message of acceptance and told I had to wait to hear from the underwriters with regards to the limit.

    Then received a text message asking me to ring this number, which I did and I just have to fax copies of both parts of my driving license, 2 bank statements or wage slips and a utility bill..so I am thinking this is because of the CIFAS.

    So I will do all that tomorrow from work and hopefully should all be fine...fingers crossed.
    :eek: Debts: Capitalone £0, Vanquis £220, LX Direct £1197, Mutual £1107, JD Williams £23 :eek:
