    Well they are shut now so I will phone up tomorrow promise :)

    Yeah I am gonna try and wait till May for those defaults but ive got itchy fingers. Although if that card comes I have plenty to keep me going I suppose.

    evidently, stick to companies that use Equifax will help! I'd try Cap1 or Barclaycard LOl - go for barclaycard gold or platinum! haha

    I have already got a cap1 classic card. So Barclaycard only search Equifax? I thought you couldnt get barclaycard with defaults?

    I do not know what is on my Equifax I have only just sent for it so I will see when it arrives. My defaults were Tesco and Egg so I would have imagined they would have been put on equifax aswell but will find out for sure.

    They declined me because I had 2 missed payments this year!
