Why do you advertise credit cards for students when you have no intention of allowing them one. My 22 year old daughter recently vivited one of your branches and applied for a card but has been refused. She works hard as a post graduate student and is funded by the medical research council . She only has a small student laon which she will repay once she earns the limit.
She owes no other monies and has no other loans.
An explanation would be good.
