    bank of scotland :) and lloyds, but only been with them 4 months x

    If you keep your account in good order with lloyds they will offer you lots of nice products.

    A easy way to understand how your credit profile with them is going, go onto internet banking and perform a loan quotation for say 5000 over 36 months you will not be credit searched but you will see a apr% mine is 15.6% at the moment because i have been in my overdraft for 3 years lol:T .

    I earn 28,0000 pa and clear 1800.00 pm so It's not easy to climb out lol

    I have just realised I have held my Cap 1 card for a year this month and have never missed a payment nor made a late payment always had it on standing order every week but yet I have never had an increase in CL..still at my starting limit of £100. Does anybody think thats odd??
    :eek: Debts: Capitalone £0, Vanquis £220, LX Direct £1197, Mutual £1107, JD Williams £23 :eek:

    :beer: nice one, As we all know there are many factors which can determine a yes or a no when it comes down to matching the borrowing profile of a lender, If you have are some one who has taken onboard £5000.00 pounds of debt in 3months but you earn £10000000pa is it really going to go against you.

    But if you have taken onboard £5000.00 pounds of debt in 3 months and you earn 7000.00 pa. I think you are going to fall short on the min required credit score for the barclays intial.

    It's all about profit vs Risk:rotfl:
