    What can I apply for? Might as well rack up more searches. I've got about 30 now, so at some point I'm going to need to stop for 12 months to get rid of them all, so I might as well rack all of them up in one go then stop completely.


    like what are you going to apply for

    Dude is it worth it? I was going to do this but then realised it is not worth it. TBH if you did get declined for Jacamo (doubt yout did) this means that your score/risk is in a seriously bad way........

    Just lay of the searches, build a establised credit profile ( 18 months min ) and then you will be on your way to mainstream.

    Being only 18 has its draw backs as your credit file is thin.
    Bank Accounts - Barlcays Premier[/B] - £1000 o/d, HSBC - £200 o/d- First Direct - £500

    Lack of credit history is the only thing that stops me from getting credit. 8 active accounts all reporting green 0's, however at most, they only have 6 green marks.

    I know I need to lay off the searches... hmm

    That's a very good piece of advice. :)

    It isn't just mine. I think quite a few people have had their limits mucked about with.

    I had £80.00 available to spend last Thursday, it's now £40.00. :confused:

    I know Cif's limit has gone down to £0.00 too.

    Very odd. Have a look at the the catalogue thread there are quite a few people on there who have had £0.00 to spend.
