Sub Prime Credit Thread Part II
Comments

Hi
I have started reading through this thread as I am repairing my credit history (or trying to).
I have just applied for Marisota & Shoe Tailor and been given £125 credit on each. I intend to buy 1 item from each and then make pay off when the bill arrives.
What else can I do which would help? Or where else should I look?

That's what I did MOB. £100 deposit 2 DD payments later I rang up and they refunded the card I paid the deposit with. You could have it returned to your account too.
Great to hear it works! Got the G1 phone - any comments? I have no clue, but they didn't have the Blackberry in stock, and clearly I am not patient enough to wait. The picture looked nice!!
