wheres the logic in this?

[Matthew Neve]

I set up a business account with the alliance & leicester had it about a month now.

A couple of weeks ago i applied for a £5000 loan from them.  Had no response so i thought i would give them a call to find out whats happening. 

I got told that they cant offer me a loan at present because they need to see 3-4 months turnover going through the account  however if i applied for the loan when i opened the account then I would have got it.

Where the hell is the logic in this?  They could have at least stated this when i opened the account.

Give them a call and say you want to close the account, so that you can open an account and apply for a loan at the same time.
