  • If you're getting £200 everytime then I would probably stop until things improve on your files.

    You must be getting offered low limits for a reason

    There's nothing to improve, I only turned 18 last year. No defaults, no missed payments, no late payments.

    The highest negative factor is high total credit utilization. However, when I received my first Capital One card, I only had Vanquis back then, nothing else, and I still only received £200.

    It takes years to build up a good credit profile, give it a bit longer and things will improve. :)
