Applying after Credit Check in UK

Hi.

I live in the UK and I would like to apply for another credit card (with some months at 0% interest on purchases).

The problem is that today I also asked my current credit card to raise my credit limit (from 1600 to 5k).

As a result, I believe that they will do a credit check and I fear that it could influence my new card application.

Can anyone shed light on this? Is it true?

Thanks a lot.

Don't hold me to this but, I think when they go to increase your credit limit they do that regarding your payment and card usage from them, the credit card company. I don't think they do a credit check for that..

i agree with jeanie, whenever any credit card company increases any card's limit , they mostly look for the previous record of that card holder , and if ur credit card's history is good u don't need to worry about it. and hope for best.

I do not know in UK, but in the US, there sure do a credit check when you apply for a credit limit raise...
