Applying for a new credit card?

I am thinking of getting a new credit card with a 0% or low for life BT interest rate, as I currently have a balance of around £900 on an Egg green which I've been paying interest on for about a year (!).

At the moment my credit file I believe will be showing me as in arrears with Freemans with the last 3 months being late payments (as detailed in another thread the reasons why) I am attempting to get this removed after I get the fees removed but in the mean time will I still be OK applying for another C/C or will it be an automatic refusal?

Cheers

Phil

    I would guess an automatic refusal so I would wait until you have sorted the 'Freemans' problem out. :xmassign:
