What's the next step?

Hi folks,

I've recently completed a protected trust deed and have now started the long road to recovery.
  • I'm currently cleaning up my credit files (2 out of 6 creditors isn't too bad.)
  • I've got a CashPlus pre-paid card with credit builder on it.
  • I have a mobile contract with 02.
  • I have also just been accepted for a Capital One Classic credit card (for fuel purchases to be paid in full each month).
All great advice I've found on these hallowed pages to help rebuild my broken credit file.

My question is simply...........what's the next step after the above?

Thanks
