A Real Visa Card For Undishcarged Bankrupts

Bollinge

A real Visa card for undischarged bankrupts is available here:

It is issued on a pre-paid basis via Rietumu Bank, Latvia.

It's available in US dollars or Euros.

Drawbacks are the 1% transaction fee, and topping up costs money via bank transfers.

However, it is a real credit card.

Wow Bollinge,

That looks interesting, how long does it take from applying to finding out if your application has been successful; we're going away early May so there might not be time.

WOW ... Do you realise how much this would cost people !!

I thinks.. If you want to have a chat about credit cards and the likes, Id move over to the Credit card boards... This really isnt the place to be ferreting on about Credit cards etc.. Escpecially after some of the raw experiences many people will have had here.

I'm starting to wonder what the real deal is here.

your not the only one toto

I went to Riga, Latvia, via Ryanair from Stansted.

I called into the bank one day with cash and passport, and picked up the card next day. They charge a nominal fee for next day service.

Just down the road they had a Brioni men's shop with really smart leather jackets at about two grand apiece. I thought I really ought to not bother considering my present financial situation!

It was a real pain to transfer the money each month, until realised I could do it on my Barclaycard terminal as a refund, and it worked quite well.

I had the card for a year or so, but got rid of it when I was discharged and got my Cap1 £200 quidder.

I've still got a few hundred Euros in the bank there, so we will go and splash it all on a good weekend later this year.

The Hotel de Rome had Beluga caviar in its restaurant for £18 for 50 grams!

Bollinge by all means tell me to mind my own business but as you have said yourself you have been declared bankrupt twice, are you sure your finances allow for all these foreign trips and beluga caviar? Well done on resisting the £2,000 jacket :rolleyes:

Whilst I'm pleased that post bankruptcy life is good for you, I don't actually find your recent posts particularly helpful, being that I am a recent BR and financially crippled at present.

When I've come through this experience a much wiser person, and eventually with a little money in my pocket I doubt I will ever be loking at caviar, £2k jackets or extensive foreign travel.

Perhaps you could tell us something useful about how you managed after you were made BR (twice), how it affected you and how you got to where you are now.

I think that Bollinge is trying to pull a fast one


Bollinger is spelled with an R on the end!

I dunno... I think that they are genuine... Hope so.

But the posts are not very constructive on a board like this. OK People have different levels of the way they live and what they can afford, some people can afford to travel nearby and extelsivly if planned in the right way, some cant.. Ive no issues with this bankrupt or not... Its the credit issue thats the 'issue' I got...
