    Suppose in fairness I've achieved things this year (though a credit card isn't one of them)

    Have two contract handsets on O2 and a catalogue that has just had its credit limit doubled.

    Full bank account and a credit card are my targets now

    I really really mucked up 6 years ago, and it has taken until the last few months to be able to get a proper bank account. I even have my first overdraft which I never had before I lost the plot.

    I got my first o2 contract about 3 years ago, but had to pay a deposit of £50 which was refunded on my third statement. Since then I have been able to upgrade no problem/take out additional contracts.... o2 were the only provider to give me a chance.

    It will happen in the end. Just hang in there :)

    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.

    well i have to confess i have gone a bit mad on the old credit card !!!

    we booked our holiday(6 of us and guess who was the only one with a card!!! to pay deposit) and i have bought a lot for christmas, and to be honest i feel really bad!!! will have to clear the balance over a couple of months and when i was using it i was scared to death incase it was declined, i wonder if this is a normal reaction after so long with no credit???

    and so glad joe won celebrity!!

  • Hi guys,
    I have noticed a couple of £1 transactions coming off my barclaycard, one last week and there is another pending one, I dont understand what this could be and was just wondering if you think there is something dodgy going on, your views are appreciated.
  • this happened to me and when I queried with there customer services , they said not to worry and wait to see if they hit as purchases , if they do to call them up . They never did.
