    hello every one,

    my first post but have been reading for a while..
    great site by the way..

    by reading this thread i applied for my very first cc at the age of 42 lol
    with a credit score of 334 which is bad i know, and a active ccj i thought i had no chance.
    so i applied for a cap1 classic and to my amazment i got accepted with a
    credit limit of £300 which is great for me.

    so a BIG thank you for all the help and advice you have given me.... :D
