What should I do with available credit?
Hi, I wondered if anyone could suggest what I do with open credit I have pre-dro application. I have a credit card with £500 limit on it, catalogue with £800 limit and Studio with £500 limit. All are currently at 0 so should I close them? I can't have more than 500 credit can i? So could I close the catalogue and Studio and leave the CC? Not really sure what I should do. Thanks in advance

Close them, do not be tempted to use them.
You are legally obliged to inform the lender of your DRO if you borrow over £500.
In reality you should not be using credit at all.
Qualifying for a DRO is hard enough, do not risk it been revoked.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
