Did you manage to confirm if it was Experian or Equifax,When i opened my bank account the women in the branch said they searched experian for the bank account and reported the conduct to experian
but as far as the credit card goes i'm a little unsure.:cool:

Hi everyone
I applied for a Flybe card at least 2 weeks ago - I got a we will let you know message but I've heard nothing since.
I'm beginning to think I applied for this in my dreams and not in real life!
I already have 2 credit cards with enough credit but I would like to prove myself as an upstanding member of the credit community and use them for monthly spendings, pay some off completely each month and with some do it over a few - as in hedging my bets etc :-)
I earn good money so not too worried about getting in deep doo doo.
So, have they just ignored me? Did I do it in my sleep?
If you have experience with applying to them please let me know
Cheers!0 -
Some people have waited a few weeks - and been accepted.0

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

If you make a payment before a statement is issued then it will clear off the balance.0 -

And what, if any, questions do they ask when they ring. I'm sitting by the phone waiting for them to call back . Hope they do soon!
Well they got hold of me and it turns out I am accepted. Strangely not as excited as I could be but it's a step in the righ direction. I think it's the 39% that got me lol.
So I now have two CC's that work. Whoop1 I can feel the excitement building! HAHGot Halifax Classic to reduce my interest rate by 5% woohoo - 10/06/08 Thanks MSE!

Hi, i posted this in a new thread, then noticed this one, so will remove the new thread:
.
I have £1300 on a barclaycard at 19.9% (£5000 limit) and £630 on a barclays fexiloan at 11% (£1000 limit).
I would have liked to transfer these to a 12 month 0% as i could easily clear it in that time, but due to a default from British gas (already moaned about this before, so wont go into it now lol!) i cant get a 0% card.
Now barclays have offered me a low LOB transfer deal, or a 1.9% 9 month one, but i don't have any other cards to do the 'shuffle' with.
So, could anyone tell me what 'undesirable' type card would offer me a limit of atleast £2000? I realize these often don't do balance transfers, but i have a way around that.
Many thanks0 -
