Credit card application

Hi there,

I'm in northern Ireland for the past 9 month, i need to apply for a credit card but every time i try to check on the eligibility it asks for my previous address witch is in Italy and there is no option regarding other countries, therefore i don't get an answer. Can anyone help on how i can apply for a credit card and how to check my eligibility ?

thanks :rotfl:

    You'll probably struggle for up to two years in the basis of not having a record in the uk.

    If you have a uk bank account then try applying to the uk bank you have a current account with as they can see your spending patterns and may be easier, otherwise look at bad credit providers which are more generous but they charge very high interest rates so make sure you pay off in full or it will cost you a lot to use your card.
  • Thanks a lot for your replay .. any suggestions on the "bad credit providers" ? :o
