Cannot Get A Card
Comments

SkylineBoy you need to always keep your balances to less than 60% of the cards max ideally, and pay off as much each month as you can.
Give it six months and apply for another card (Someone like Mbna) but dont worry if you get turned down. Just keep your halifax card in good order, and try again in another 6 months.
And every 6 months or so call Halifax rententions and see if you can haggle over your interest rate...skylineboy2002 wrote: »good advice... ive recently (jan) got a 19.95% card from my bank halifax...
i dont intend on letting it get interest on it though..
maybe the next card i get will be cheaper as they know ill have a good record of paying it off....0 -

didnt know u could haggle on rates though... although i would haggle on stuff like mobile phone bills and price check nearly everything i buy...0
