Bloomin hell... I really thought it was America
thats bloomin crazy,...
Atleast Credit card companys are far bit securer here,
I filled in application online with MBNA and about 3-4 weeks later I had a phonecall saying they had done a credit check and i'd passed!
they offered me insurance for a whole year for £20
Lloyds TSB were charging me £20 per month for that...
thats another reason I got rid of them!

Don't you believe it for a second! They just don't 'muddle up' up on purpose.
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you have an overdraft they start tormenting you with offers for a loan?
There was a story not so long ago about a bank who even gave a customer's cat a credit card. You can only imagine what the cat's monthly statement would have looked like

I like the last sentence.

That credit card story sound like an Urban Legend to you? Forget it! A couple of years ago I got an offer for a credit card/form and all (I DIDN'T EVEN have a bank account - still don't! You CAN live without the f*ckers). I opened a phony email account in my cat's name, emailed the form (incl. My cat's age of 5 yrs!). 3 days later I had the card (bank of Ireland).... After a week Flodder got a letter, saying, "mistake blah, blah"....
The damage Flodder could've caused in 6 days (if he had opposable thumbs...)!!!
Ireland has less than 4 million inhabitants... A few years ago just 1 irish bank managed to lose £700 million thanks to a gambling addicted employee in a US-office... Following that scandal the bank GAINED more customers!!! The logic being according to surveys: if they can handle such losses, they must be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of this is made up!!! BANKS... Robb'em, bomb'em, don't deal widdem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
