    Yes but the OP said they were worried the wonga search would harm their credit file which implies that they have a reasonable credit file. If they do then they can get a credit card.

    It would depend on timescales involved. In custardy's scenario if he need the money immediately, then a PDL would be the way to go. If they had a few weeks to wait, then a credit card would be better.

    Obviously being prepared and having a credit card on standby would be ideal, however things can creep up unexpectedly.

    That's what I thought too.. particularly when you consider they lent £1.2bn in 2012 (according to BBC)
