  • As you have no employment you would be unable to repay the credit cards and any more debt would be very bad for you. So you will find that nearly all (if not all) lenders will decline your request.
  • As mentioned above, your unemployment is a factor in your applying. It might be best to go to the debt free board and write down your monthly outgoings versus, if any, your monthly income be it from Benefits and see if you can reduce any of the outgoings.

    Getting more credit will ease your current situation but become a burden later. If you apply for more credit, the more you'll get declined and affect your Credit rating which again means more rejection.

    As mentioned get on to the debt free wannabe board and ask for some guidence.
