Do you not have a debit card to make day to day purchases with money you already have in your account?When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN

Perhaps they have not got any money in their account.:pB&SC No. 298

I'll rephrase that then:
"with your income"When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN

All I asked was whether they had a debit card - don't make something of nothing.When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN

Whilst there is nothing physically stopping you from applying for credit when you are either in an IVA or BR, the chances of being accepted are very very slim.
From doing a bit of reading, applying for credit should be kept for financial emergencies, not for day to day spending. So if it's being able to put day to day spending on a card, like INAN suggested, without knowing what the OP actually wants the CC for it's difficult to offer accurate advice.Feb 2024:
CC1 6537.66
CC2 7804.45
CC3 4221.17
CC4 2053.68
CC5 989.30
Loan 1 3686.44
Loan 2 5275.22
Total £30,567.920
