Credit - Catalogue accounts

I am a discharged bankrupt and just registered for a catalogue account and was surprised to find that I have been given £125 credit on my account. Is this right? Am I allowed to get credit?

    If you are discharged then there is no problem with this. It will help you build your credit rating if you can keep up the payments properly.

    Have you cleaned up your credit files post BR?

    Sounds like that was some good luck so as tigerfeet2006 says use it to build up your credit rating.

    Which Catalogue was it.....
