Which credit card for someone with not to bad rating but not brilliant

Options
At the moment I have a Vanquis card with £1k on it at not to good a rate and £700 on a Very catalogue account. That is all the credit I have.

I would like to get myself another card to transfer this onto and not to use and to pay off around £70-90 a month.

My credit rating is not brilliant but I have been working on getting it better and it is getting there.

I can't go for Barclays, Natwest or HSBC unfortunatly because of links to DH and his bad debts from a failed business. We are working at sorting it and it should be off his CR's in 12 months.

So which card should I go for? Any advice greatfully recieved.

    Actually, I don't know if we are on the ER or not tbh. Will have to check that out.

    We bank with the Co-op and Halifax. We only have a Cashminder account with Co-op and they refused me an upgrade 4-5 months ago. Our joint account with Halifax is the basic one but they have just upgraded the account in my name to a Reward account with no O/D.

    I'll give the Halifax a ring tonight and see what they say.
