Did you do an “eligiblity checker” before it? I know that’s not a crystal clear picture either – but if you did, what was your score out of 10?

Mine is 9/10 and I currently hold a BAPP since February. Wonder if I’d end up being declined too. What was yours?

Bit of an update, after a second try with accounts (first person said wait 90days) they think it might be an address issue (not sure if this is just to fob me off or not) but they’ve passed it for manually review with a re-confirmed address.

I did score 9/10 on their checker or i wouldnt have applied, will see what comes of the manual review.

Sounds good. Weird – guess these are not accurate always. Strange to see 9/10 then an issue like this not taken into account I guess?! Good luck! Keep us posted.
