General Betting

Called into LloydsTsb today for my annual review.
The girl I spoke to mentioned that should I apply for any credit, mortgage etc, the rate i am offered may be altered due to transactions such as betting deposits/withdrawals on my bank account.
Anybody heard of this, or is this quite common?
Or do you use an alternative account for Betfair etc?

Every serious punter should have a separate account for betting. Although books don't hit your credit rating (although they do a basic ID check) if you're applying for a product from your bank, or parent company of your bank, they will be able to see what you've spent and where.
I use Alliance & leicester. Years free overdraft to fund, £100 free. Also use moneybookers and neteller. |

I was in paying a bill and the girl said my account was due for a review, could I make time for an appointment. Just seemed to be a chat over my finances etc |

just say no if they offer a review. Basically they just want to get you in a room and sell you stuff.

Knight rider,
That seemed to be the sketch, offering their products etc. Quite interesting though. |

ironic given that their reckless gambling brought society as we know it to the brink
