    I take my hat off to you never-in-doubt, the thread to which you have linked is very impressive. It's nice that people take time out to put the effort in as you have done.

    No offence to the OP, but as an unemployed teenager, should he/she really be able to get credit, and begin racking up debt? It would never have happened 15 years ago - not a hope in hell.

    fair point, but the only ones he is likely to get will be from sub prime...... so low limit anyway.
