Guess, no-one can help you with a zero percent credit card in your current situation.candycane181106 wrote: »guess no-one wants to help me
Do not apply for any other cards until your financial situation has improved.0 -
the payment wont shoot up but you shouldnt be borrowing more when youa re not earning. lots of applications will damage your rating.0

if you have problems with funds and making the minimum repyament -draw up an income and expenditure sheet showing what you income and outgoings are and make the credit company/s a monthly offer that you can afford until your situation improves. in nearly all cases they will freeze the interest charges and review your account every 6/12 months - i have had my interest charges frozen as have been out of work for a while and they have frozen the interest that would have been accuring.
dontget another credit card as other people have advised !0 -
you can lie about employment0

I know some credit cards look at a household income. So if you are unemployed but your partner isn't then you can use their income when applying for the card. Should give you a better chance. Although if you have been rejected three times in the last two months then I don't really rate your chances of getting a credit card with the limit you need.0
