Pre-payment credit card???

mgr1970

Non of the Mayor Banks in the UK issue these cards thats the problem with buying them from internet firms in the UK they are all issued by US banks at the moment and Thats what makes buying them dodgy.
We have seen these cards been advertised on this site on the recs board.

SmartRRRR

Hi all.

Just a thought on this one, but can I assume that as a declared bankrupt you can get a credit card from a UK bank at all?

We were notified from one of our credit card issuers (can't remember which one but I'll find out) that they paid interest on a positive balance, so if you prepaid an amount to give a positive balance you would be able to get interest on that and use the card for purchases.

It might have been Saga :-[ that my wife has ;D because they always appear to offer that little bit more, in exchange for a barrage of mail that comes with it. However it may be a bit premature to suggest them, I think Liverpool Victoria do the same.

It depends on whether they will allow you a card in the first place.
