                                  in Credit cards             
            
                    I currently have 3 credit cards (Virgin, Barclay and Nationwide) each has approx £650 on each and i'm coming up to the end of my 0% interest term on all of them. I tried to apply for a HSBC card but got denied because apparently I have more out goings than incomings (according to the credit check people) this is far from the truth, i daredn't apply for any more cards in fear of totally messing up my credit history. What should I do? I just want to transfer all my 3 balances onto one card, thats it.

            a couple of applications won't adversely affect your credit record.
 try another card. if that does work wait about 3-6 months before trying again.0

            Have you phoned Virgin to ask if they have any offers?
 When I asked for a card for my brother on my account, they offered me a good balance transfer offer.Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.0

            But I already have a Virgin card? What offers do you mean?0

            retainer offers. read the thread on the subject.0

            RIght i've had a look at that thanks, but it looks like i'm unlikely to get a 0% retainer offer so i'm best BT-ing it to another card really.0
