    if you can obtain another credit card, without being declined such as capital one or vanquis, then it will improve your credit, as it shows you can maintain a credit card and make payments on time,

    have you tried for a capitalone?

    Experian score is total pants, and seems to rely too much on things such as credit searches as opposed to total credit, total used credit. Whenever I checked mine many months ago as an experiment, paying massive sums off my card didnt improve the score at all when it should.
