    They stick you in a tier depending on how good your credit score is. The top tier should be 59.9%, so you're 1 tier off the top.

    Just got my o2 payment to come off my Cap1 card instead of Natpest, because Cap1 transactions show up online quicker so I actually make sure I have money left on that, unlike Natwest which is maxed out, again!

    Sorry to hear that! If I remember correctly you have a default don't you?

    yes, I have a couple of defaults from last year... just thought I'd give it a go. Still only got my Capital One and my Studio accounts that are current..

    That's the simple rate, not the APR. Yours is 69.9% APR, sorry.
