    Eeek, so impatient! I sent back a credit agreement for an Accessory Card on the 28th November and haven't heard anything so rang today. She said that she's sure it's in the building but it hasn't been processed yet so all she can do is send out another agreement just incase it's got lost in the post!

    I really need it for Christmas as I've just spent the last of my student loan on some food to take me up to Christmas :( Fingers crossed it's found and processed/the other gets here fast!

    If they send you a new agreement try sending it back recorded or even special delivery.

    Have you checked your credit file? Have you made alot of credit applications recently?
    It may be that you have had alot of credit at once and being that you are 18 yrs old they have declined you for the loan.

    There are people on this Forum with more searches than that :o so don't worry to much, but to many searches will hinder you when applying.:D
