Then do something like the Nationwide credit card which is 0% for 9 months and also pretty useful for foreign transactions0 -
Try to get the cards that are easy to get like Aqua, capitalone or vanquis. Once you get them, run them well for 5-6 months, then your credit score will seriously go up. Then other companies will trust you with ur payment history and will probably give you better deal. I did the same and yesterday approved for Halifax One @ 9.9%. Now I'm gonna close my aqua and capitalone accounts. They served their purpose.
Also try to be on the electoral roll.01. Marriott Rewards VISA (£2700 @ 17.9%)
02. HSBC MasterCard (£2250 @ 14.9%)
03. HALIFAX One MasterCard (£2200 @ 12.9%)
04. Monument VISA (£1000 @ 19.9%)
05. Aqua MasterCard (£500 @ 29.9%)0 -
Ty a product offered by your own bank - you might stand a better chance with it, since they have a better view of the in/outgoings in your bank account.iaye carramba!0
