Apologies in advance (in the British way) for using F"?$ language....
I'm new to this country. First time i was pissed off when i tried to open a bank account. No need to explain all known shit about UK Banks.
Now i gotta pissed off by Credit Rating Agency. I applied for a Credit Card with a bank and i was refused, stating the reason that Credit rating agency(ies) didn't give good rating. I wrote back yo the bank asking them to provide me details about all these shit and they reply as follows:
============================================================================Dear Mr PissedOff,
I have received your letter concerning the credit scoring agents we use ? below is a link to the website where you can search for a nominal fee your credit history. Although I do not have your exact application details I would like to take this opportunity to express that it is quite likely that your history is fine but the credit scoring for GoddamnBank's new UK credit card is set on a number of parameters including length of time at addresses in the UK - for instance. Like any new unsecured credit product we have to take a conservative approach to credit lending. I do hope you understand. We will be reviewing past applications on a quarterly basis.
Some Asshole Card Operations Manager Goddamn Bank Ltd ========================================================================== I'm going crazy. Why the hell on the Earth i have to register with those goddamn agencies for my own credit rating, and that too I NEED to pay for that.
Can anyone tell me about my rights(a.k.a Consumer Rights) to f*ck back this bank/Agency. Unfortuantely this is also the same bank which allows me to open a saving and current account with them in UK, and also they transfer money free of cost to my home country. And back in my country i have all sorts of accounts with this bank, which i'm going to close(one way to f*ck them).
So it means i can't get a credit card in this country, untill n unless i register with those agencies?
And if that's final solution then can someone tell me with which agency(ies) to register with. And with how many agencies i have to register.
Apologies again to use offensive language, you see i don't drink, and so i don't have any other way to SHAG.
