    Foolishboy - I think Sygma are going to be the best bet until the BR drops off your credit file. They do allow multiple cards per applicant so you could try for a maximiles mastercard? Well done by the way that's an excellent limit considering your circumstances!!

    Elky - yes, yes-secure solely search Call Credit. And rate more loosely than any other loan company I'm aware of.

    Thank you sir! Should I wait or apply now? Would be lovely to cut up the CapOne although another line of greens cannot hurt on the file I suppose.

    Aqua declined me even after having main stream cards with 19% apr's. Aqua seems to decline a lot of people so I wouldn't take it personally, or even think your credit file is poop. They are definitely the more stricter of the sub-prime category.

    Strange they declined you, as they accepted me with defaults.

    I was trying to find the best card with the highest chance of acceptance I have 1 CCJ from 5 years ago

    I would suggest the MyWorld card. Oh. Wait. SSL errors. Hmm...

  • Just been accepted for a Barclaycard Initial (finally!) with a £1200 limit. Sygma still don't want to know me, but am happy to have the Barclaycard.

    I will be getting rid of Vanquis now, and I may ditch the Aqua card I received last week too.

    Here's what I have currently...

    Vanquis £500 (started at £250)
    Capital One £100
    Aqua £750
    Barclaycard Initial £1200

    I think that's all the pure sub-prime cards now lol. Another year and I should be able to upgrade the Barclaycard and be mainstream. :j
