in Credit cards
Hi all,
Have decided to apply for the Barclaycard Credit Builder card for two reasons

1) New to credit
2) Hammered searches on Experian about 6 now I believe in the last few months.

Is it correct that you can only apply in branch? If so this is a little pointless.

Anyone know of any other credit cars that use EQUIFAX or CALLCREDIT ONLY!!

I applied for a monument visa as I know they use CALLCREDIT however recieved a letter saying they are only by invite only at the moment.....

Please advise

Thanks ALL!

    hi mate

    you can apply for the flybe mastercard issued by sygma bankor their jjb mastercard, they use equifax.

    or try the aqua mastercard, they use equifax

    all credit cards issued under the barclaycard or partner range check equifax for the info
    hope this helps
