    What’s the point of paying of a credit card in full every month.....

    It shows you can use credit sensibly.

    Just using your debit card tells them nothing about your ability to handle credit. Only that you are probably afraid of it.

    Anyway, we're going over old ground here.

    Follow the advice thats been given. You will get there.
  • Paying it off in full shows good management of credit and no interest, "People offering a mortgage" will see your credit history,

    Ok. I’m not from a culture of credit cards and I always thought they were for people who didn’t have money. I shall get one.

    What’s the point of having credit if you already have the money in the bank acccount is my argument. I’m a big saver and worked from a young age.

    I will get one.
