Aqua & Marbles

Just wanted to add a quick post to save others time!

I meet the basic creiteria for these cards but have been declined for an Aqua card and the Marbles soft check says I'm not elegable for a card. My bankruptcy has gone from my credit report but my BRU is still there til next October. It seems they don't like BRU and I think this is why I was declined! The good news however is Capital 1 and Barclaycard initial don't seem to mind!

Has anyone else experienced the same?

  • Yes Capital 1 seems to like BRs...my experience pre-BR, with the cards loving you when you are ok- then the non-stop whacking on of 'charges' when you struggle and non-negotiable way of paying off the debt has put me off cards, so only using it the improve credit rating :(
