Just before lunch I got the post and in it I receive the most exciting letter I've had in ages. I've just been accepted for a normal current account!!! This is a very positive step as I've only been able to get a basic cash account since September 2007.
Who are the bank to give me this new start? The TSB.
Yes I still have active defaults and am paying debts off but I can not believe that for once I, (yes little old me) have been given this slight ray of hope that things are getting onto the right track.
I just wanted to share as I did not think this day would ever come but please stay positive even if you are in a position like I was when you think nobody will ever touch you again, I know it's not a credit card etc but I have a Visa debit card instead of Electron as I've previously had but I thing its a good start.

That's great news.
From now onwards, and little by little, your credit report will continue to improve, especially once the last debt and the last default is off your file.0 -
It's the little things that keep us going! Well done and glad that things are improving for you.
I felt like that when, after months of being rejected for 0% cards, I started getting accepted again so I could pay more off the balance and less on interest.
Take care
