Better CC for CCJ

I have a year old Satisfied CCJ.

I have 2 credit cards:
1) Capital One - 10 months Full payments on time
2) Vancuis - 3 months Full payments on time.

I have ZERO debt, never overdrawn. My credit cards and Mobile contracts get paid all in time!

What other credit cards (Better ones) are avilable for someone like myself with a satisfied CCJ?

thanks for any input.

    Aqua credit card is the only other sub prime credit card.
  • Barclaycard initial may also be available.
  • Vanquis worked well for me and I've got a CCJ..

    They are extortionate something like 59% but if you pay it off each month like I do, you will have no problems - but as said I'd avoid letting anything sit on it.. It'll cost you a bomb.

    Barclaycard accepts CCJs so long as over 5 years old. Its in the creteria for all their cards but is obviously more applicable for the Initial card as its the easiest to get. I've got a 5 year old CCJ and have recently got a Barclaycard Gold. Unfortunately this means you'll have to wait 4 years. You also have to have not missed any payments on credit accounts in last 12 months. Best bet is to stick to the cards you have for a bit longer then try to upgrade your Capital One card to their Progress one. Eventually you should have a more mainstream APR
