Hi

I've decided to transfer my credit card balances today.

I have just tried to get a credit card with Ulster ... the site redirected me to the Co-operative - I thought this was OK so I continued to apply for the card.

At the end I realised that the card I've applied for isn't 0% interest!

So .. then I decided to go for Norwich Peterborough - went through the application and then got declined! When I checked my credit score with the moneysupermarket it said that it was excellent - I can't work it out.

I don't know how to move on from here...my lightbulb moment was only a few days ago and I haven't progressed at all so far - it's hard to find time to do anything at the moment with a 4 year old and a 4 month old with me all the time. I feel that I've made the effort and have got nowhere - please help me carry on!

    Please list current credit cards, the credit limits and the balance on each one. Also, would be helpful if you gave your salary too.

    Hi Emmy

    Welcome to MSE and the credit card board.

    I read your first thread. I think you should post your details on the debt-free wannabe board. You'll get lots of help over there.

    Meanwhile, if you reply to Boss, we'll try to help with the credit cards.

    Cheers
