    Thanks matttye for your help. Since opening this thread, I have applied for, and been accepted for the CapitalOne Classic Card, so gonna use that for fuel and repay monthly. Like I have just read in another thread from the guy my age will keep that for 6-12 months then apply for a rewards card

    No probs :)

    You're welcome to try but the chances of getting anything other than a sub-prime card while you still have defaults on your report are slim. I'm just going to keep this CapitalOne card until 2015, by which time my credit report should be clear :) I may apply for another sub-prime card next year to use as well.
    What will your verse be?
