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 though0 -
I pay off the Capital 1 account every month as it's only £200, then get the monthly shopping on it0

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?0 -
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
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:0 -
