    There are many credit cards out there for low income earners, bad credit history etc. The best to try would be Capital One, Visa Vanquis or Aqua. These all are designed for people how may have a bad credit rating but want to improve. Let us know how you get on!

    Or people with no credit history.

    I'm 19, got my first credit card 2 months after my 18th, have 2350 credit available to me on 2 cards, one is a student credit card from my bank. Pay in full every month no problems!

    What can I say, it works for me?

    I also have a job, you never said whether your son is still in FT education or has a job or anything?
