Any idea how to get one?
It may be the ten searches that's affecting your applications. Cool it for a while and you may have more success.
Are you on the electoral role?
Have you tried any of the sub-prime offerings? (i.e. cards listed in post #1)

It's worth writing to the company that placed the default and ask them to remove it.
I had a default issued by Shop Direct Financial Services (for a Choice catalogue) removed just by writing one letter!
It's definitely worth a go, they can only say no - and if they say yes it's a brilliant credit file boost.

P.S. Take a look at THIS website, I'm not recommending it or saying it works but it's another avenue to look at.
Thanks for that UNDERGROUND. They said they will mark it as satisfield, but I want it to disappear.0 -

JD Williams did this to me. I applied and they said i could have £125 later that evening it disappeared :mad:. When i checked in the morning it was back at £125 :j and i have had various increases since.0 -

Every month they have increased mine by at least £100. It was increased by £175 this month just from me buying a PS3 Blu Ray Remote.0 -
My Studio catalogue do holidays! My limit isn't enough to cover though.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0
