Card terminals

Hi, not sure if this is the right section for this question.

Is there any card terminals I can use with bad credit? I just got one with paypal and after signing up I was refused due to my bad credit rating.

I am a sole trader and looking for a card terminal for customers to make payments.

Is there any out there that will allow someone with bad dept to sign up?

Thanks.

John

    On a whole, no. Because of your poor history you'll find it near impossible to obtain a credit card machine.

    They carry huge risk a mis-ussage.
  • You could try somewhere like iZettle, but they also perform a credit check so it'll be hit-and-miss.
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.
