    MBNA complains similarly about not living here for 3 years, I wonder why you haven't noticed that ;) And it even needs a home phone number.

    Back to building credit the hard way for the time...
    Enjoy the silence...

    Studio seem to like raising credit limits. I bought my wrapping paper, Xmas card and some decs from them last month. They opened the account for me and gave me a CL of £80. Paid the balance of in full and now I have a CL of £130. Not much I grant you but I've never come across a company which raises limits after just one payment.
