Catalogues - rebuilding credit score

I have a poor credit score but have currently got a Jacamo account and a Capital One credit card to rebuild credit. I have been advised to get a catalogue to also help rebuild score. What company would give me one in my current situation?

  • JD Williams seem to give away catalogues online.

    I, myself have Very and Isme- Each have a £3k limit on them. I only have balances of £200.00 on each of them. I use the buy now pay later options, but choose to pay for the items before the interest is put on the balances. You can apply for a catalogue and they seem to credit check you while they are processing your first order. If you fail the credit check, I think they ask you to pay the balance before delivery.
    DEBTFREE AND PROUD!!
