    Hello everyone, I'm slowly rebuilding my credit.

    I have an Aqua card starting balance £1000. Sent me a letter 1st to call them before releasing a card.

    Capital one, starting balance £200 (took a month to comes)

    Had them for about 4 months now, but no credit increases.

    Vanquis have not got back to me from 3 months ago!

    Halifax have given me a £2000 overdraft, as my wages have been paid in for over a year.

    Hi Jay and welcome to the board. If you've ran the Cap One card well and within the terms then they should be giving you an increase right about now. I found out about mine online, but they also send confirmation in the post.

    I'm afraid I don't know about Aqua though :o
  • I pay off the Capital 1 account every month as it's only £200, then get the monthly shopping on it

  • You mean a refund? That's basically a "credit" transaction, so, yes it will pay off the balance you had prior to the refund.

    nah not refund

    basically money paid to a card, but its the same as i spent

    it payin the balance, does that mean i've made the payment for the month?

    or will i still need to make another payment?

    Darcy, how have you ended up with only 4 searches lol.

    I'm good thanks. Passed the credit check for my remortgage with Abbey :) . Just hope the valuation comes out half decent :o

    Can't believe it's Christmas already next week. I had a huge ruckus in work today as I refuse to work Xmas Day - I did it last year. Oh yeah, and I turn 30 next week :eek:
