    Thank you very much EachPenny!

    Yes it's been difficult but we're at the end of it & trying to get back on an even footing!

    I'll have a look at these accounts you've mentioned.

    Thanks again.

    You're welcome.

    I've just noticed the Ford account T&C's say they don't allow applications from undischarged bankrupts - so although you are discharged it might be worth delaying trying Ford until you are sure your credit files are all clear as otherwise you may get another 'false' rejection.
