Building credit back up?

Options
Evening MSE'ers,

I'm not sure if this is the correct part of the forum (hope somone will point me the correct way if not)

I came out of a DRO about 6 months ago and want to start building my credit history back up. I have my mobile and car insurance on contracts to pay monthly.
However I was looking to get a credit card to help build my rating back up just to use for diesel and to pay off in full every month.

Regards,

Jay

    But remember you need to pay these off in full every month. With interest into 60% you dont want to get trapped with a large balance on one of those.

    After 6 to 12 month try for one with your bank, where your current account is held. Least then its main stream with much lower rates.
    If you keep on doing what's you've always done, you'll keep on being what you've always been...:think:
