Need some advice ab out which card...

Afternoon all

I'm looking to get a new credit card to transfer my existing balance to but have been declined by MBNA and I don't want to make too many applications as it would look bad on my credit rating.

At the moment I have - £6250 available credit (CC and Catalogue)
£3500 CC debt to be transferred
£2000 credit union loan (£1500 outstanding)
£20,500 salary (£1337 per month after tax)

I have the normal accounts on my credit rating (mobile phone, etc) which are all paid and up to date and and 1 late payment in April 2012 that was only a couple of weeks late.

Can any one suggest which card I should be applying for to have a better chance of acceptance?

Many Thanks

Bailey xx
