in Credit cards
hi
just wondering what the best card is to get to improve my credit score. It is poor at the moment and want to improve it dramatically.
If I am successful in obtaining one i will be paying it back in full each month.
Thanks for looking

why is it poor?
any normal CC used properly will be much of a muchness0 -
I suppose something like Vanquis would be your best bet - but if don't pay it off every month it will become very expensive.0

As well as Vanquis try:
Barclaycard Initial
Granite credit card
Aqua
Capital One Classic0 -

Applied for a capital one classic and was successful. Glad about that.
Is it best to pay the minimum amount each month or just pay it off in full??
Thanks for all your replies.

Your first post states you will be paying it off every month - now you have been accepted you seem to have changed your mind.mhairibramwell wrote: »Applied for a capital one classic and was successful. Glad about that.

Pay the card in full every month and after 6 months get copies of your credit files to see what is on there before applying for a full card.0
