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.Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

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.
Cheers,

Is anyone else having problems with the creation site

Thanks0 -

Which card are you after?Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

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.0 -

I would suggest the MyWorld card. Oh. Wait. SSL errors. Hmm...Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

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. :jRemember this: nothing worth doing is easy.0 -
