    Hiya

    The proffessional advice is important, but after going to 3 different places, I found this forum to have the best advice and info. Go to makesenseofcards.com to do your SOA, and post it on here. If you've no assetes, and are on JSA (or low income), then I'd advise BR. I went BR yesterday, and its been a positive experience for me.

    Good luck, you've come to the right place.
