By definition, there can't be a prepaid credit card. Are you looking for a travel card, or a spening card for UK use?

The pay as you go credit cards for use in the uk or abroad - do you know the ones i mean?

If it's for spending in the UK then there's no benefit using a prepaid card, just use the debit card on your current account.

i am an undischarged bankrupt and have a rubbish kiddy current account card which is not valid for some things. someone recently suggested prepay cards as an option so im wondering if anyone has any good resources on them,

cheers,

Some people cannot get a Debit Card, so a prepaid type card is the only alternative.

Went for the caxton fx global traveller as its got no monthly fees and no application charge and will charge me 1.50 on the times that i use it in the UK which seeing as it is only for emergencys when i loose my cash card hopefully wont be too often - (need some wood to touch!)
