    Was that recent after CIFAS, the reason i'm asking is because my Dad has a Next account and won't use them because they keep changing Credit Limits and he doesn't want to buy something then reduce his limit to £0 for some reaason.
    The CIFAS was put on my file months back and Next have increased my limit since before cutting it.

    They are. My limit started at £150 2 years ago and bounced between that and £950 until 3 months ago. It was never the same from month to month. 3 months ago they raised it to £1500, last month to £2000 and this month lowered it to £0.

    Go figure. :think:

    that happened to me by j d williams been with em over 2 years, limit was static till 4 months ago then increased each time statement was produced and eventually ended up at 1200 last month then totally removed this month although balance is 408, when i asked i was told we dont want you as a customer as we have seen adverse info on credit file!!!! was there when i opened account.

    Thats what happen to my Dad he appiled for an account in July never heard anything then back in September October time they sent him a statement saying he had a credit limit of £300 and he owed them £3.50 for the directory. He never received it, so he rang up and they sent him a new directory. Weird!!!

    JD Williams (Jacamo) gave me £125 to start off with and has increased it gradually to £750 and its been stuck at that for a few months. They gave me that with my default - hope they don't yank it from me! I quite like them - I'm a man of the larger persuasion so I like the sizes they offer.

    That's why i went to Jacamo because the sizes are large.
