    Can I join please. I have now got more than enough credit and I don't need anymore! Got 8 searches in last year (2 of which were for my car finance, one for a new bank account, 2 for catalogue accounts and the rest for credit cards.
    I think I am finally on the way to be approved for more mainstream finance now and I don't want to muck up my chances of getting a 0% credit card next year ;)
