    Hi. I must admit, I have gone for the "extremly high interest rate" credit card route. Na danger, I have learnt my lesson the very very hard way, but this was also recommended to me Put a very small amount, only needs to be £10 per month, pay it off, and keep this up for a while, your credit rating will improve.

    Although I got approved first time round, I only got a very small limit ( doesn't bother me ) but at least I can start to rebuild my life.
    If at first you don't succeed. Remove all evidence that you have tried
