    I had 8 CCs at my worst, from £4k limit down to a measly £350 on my student barclaycard.. No storecards, stupid as 8 CCs is, I knew very well what poor deals you get from storecards and their ilk so stayed well clear..

    Lightbulb moment moved me to consolidate my 8 down to 6, have since paid off two and am 'discussing' the other with the nice* people at Link Financial

    They livein the hope of getting well paid jobs. Often they still have to start at the bottom and work up, it's about time grants came back.

    I thought we had two but after checking our credit file last week it seems OH hasn't cancelled about 5 that we no longer use (they were in his name so I can't cancel them). Guess what i'm nagging him to do at the moment?!?

    At worst I think I had 4 and a store card, all with fairly low limits though TBH.

    I came here with 3, opened two, and I have cancelled three since being on here, and another one will be able to go by June. I hope, otherwise I shall remain confused!!

    The most credit cards I had at once was three, but this was because I was doing a balance transfer from two Egg cards to a Virgin card because Egg wouldn't give me a high enough limit to put both amounts on one card.

    I cancelled those two, so only have the Virgin card now, unfortunately I still owe £2600 on it. :(

    I think my highest was 7! :eek:

    However my credit report tells me I've had nearly 30 types of various credit in the last six years! _pale_
