No, it's not compulsory.

It wasn't personal, it was part of their affordability checks: turned out they could not afford you as a client due to not making enough money...

I no longer have a UK credit as I don't have a UK address.
A few years back I applied for a credit increase from £2500 and was refused .I was earning £500 a day at the time . As I always paid off the outstanding balance each month,I guess the reason was that they were not making any money from me.

Did he learn a lesson from it? Are we supposed to feel sorry for him?
