MSE Credit Card Eligibility Checker

in Credit cards
Is this as bad as it seems.......
I filled in my details in the MSE Credit Card Eligibility Checker, the results gave me eleven results and every single one gave me 0% of being accepted, stating I am not eligible for the cards
I want to try and boost my credit rating, so does this mean my credit rating is so poor, that nobody will touch me??
Thanks for any responses
(I did use the search function but couldn't find an answer)

The system is an estimator and not a definitive answer. You can only know for certain by actually applying for a card.
Do you know whats driving your rating down? If you do and you agree with it then look at the subprime products like Vanquis. There is one, cannot remember who by, where you downpay your credit limit as a security net for non-payment and thus they are one of the most forgiving cards because you initially cannot leave them in the lurch
If this has come as a total shock and you thought you had ok credit then first thing to do is check with the CRAs to ensure everything there looks as it should do0
