Can't get any credit cards

richard-

I have a balance on my MBNA card which I created over the past 6 weeks, it is £1000, as I lost my job and didnt have a new one until a couple of weeks ago so everything went on the credit card.

Now I have been trying to get another credit card to transfer the balance across. But all the ones I applied to which includes (citi, capitalone, tesco, egg, virgin, Alliance & Leicester) im declined. I dont believe I have any bad history however I have been trying to get to read those reports on your history (the creditexpert one) I applied to this about 3 years ago and they never sent me a PIN after calling and telling them that I have not still received it, called a number of times I told them to cancel but when I try and register it gives I have an account, suppose I will have to get around to calling them one day but I would of thought they would have removed my details by now.

Of course today is sunday and they are not open, so I tried equifax and that site crashed at the end although it seems it took £2 out the credit card I put in the debit details and tells me to ring them during the week.

Really annoyed not sure why I cant get a new card, I wanted to get a citi card too because I have been using shell for years and my mate said it is quite a good card now, at first it was a little trouble but seems a good deal but im declined on that.

Recently moved house, my parents house, and I have moved jobs twice in the past couple of months and moved 2-3 times in the local area where I work but don't see how this is causing any problems

noh

The above are most likely the major reasons you have been declined.
Multiple credit searches in a short space of time no recent stable employment history and no long term residence. Probably not on the electorol register at your current address?

The six applications you made, will have produced searches that will remain on your credit file for 12 months; realistically, they will have a negative effect on any application you make during the next 6 months (at least!).

Found the problem, got the equifax report and it shows no details for my electrical roll details. It was send off about 4-7 weeks ago, they tell me it is updated the 1st dec so I will be on then.

The credit cards it shows as 1 credit card search in the last 6 months from capital one bank as opt in, no other searches are on there
