    Pretty sure mine was a typo, rather than a misunderstanding of which punctuation mark to use though!

    or is it because im dyslexic you think you can just take the !!!!.


    I was appalled at the comments made about your grammar but even moreso that you are lying about being dyslexic. It is that or you have some very rare form that I, a learning support coordinator for a well known school for 7 years, has never heard encountered.

    Regardless, I would advise you stay well clear of a credit card. You do not need a credit card and the hell it can bring with it.

    If you are sincere about just wanting to build up a credit rating, get a card with a very high APR. They usually come with a low limit and if the interest rate doesn't make you think very seriously about spending over what you can pay back immediately, you'll learn a very valuable lesson without getting into huge debt.
