The Sub Prime Credit Thread - Part V

Welcome to the 5th edition of the fantastic Sub Prime Credit Thread, originally created by Proliant and followed up by CifPower. This thread contains all previous versions of the threads and all the Sub Prime deals available right now!

Sub Prime does not mean that it is not as good, it simply means that if your credit is far from perfect, you may be accepted by one of the companies below as their credit scoring model is designed to accommodate higher risk, whereas mainstream lenders' score a lot harsher meaning you're more likely to be refused.

    Morning mate

    Its extremely inaccurate! Apply and see LOL ;);)

    They have done an Equifax soft search (with the pre-app checker) so may as well let them do a full search...

    Let us know how you get on :beer:

    Sygma Bank Credit Cards

    Tis good info there.
    Hopefully 2011 will be the year I can re-enter the Prime market and Sygma will be my first port of call (if I can't get a Sygma then I won't get anything else considered prime!)

    Come the end of January 2011 I will be 12 months without a late payment marker and there will be no defaults or CCJs on my files and there will be no more searches this year and I have only made 4 in the last 6 months. I will also have been living at this address for a full year (after living at my previous address for 6 years) and am already on the electoral role.

    Can't ask for more than that!
    Remember this: nothing worth doing is easy.
