in Credit cards
hi all
Please could anyone give me advice, my husband would like to transfer his balance (£1800) to a new card company,the problem is that he has been self employed for the last 6 months,previously employed with no breaks,will being self employed be a big problem?does he need to have been self employed longer? is there any card companies out there that could help, his credit rating is classed as fair . Any recommendations would be most appreciated,
thank you

I should'nt think it should be a prob, as he already i presume has a good credit record. One of my friends was in the same situation & there was no prob, they normally apply on-line though.
If they flag it up & ask to talk to you, then explain the situation.They need your business & they know they have plenty of competitors out there!
HTH, goodluck

I got instant acceptance from Capital One as well, but waited 3-4 days for the credit limit.People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.0 -
