The phrase "Almost all credit card companies won't lend to anyone under 18, though for some the limit is even higher." implies there is at least one credit card company who would lend to someone under 18 - which there isn't (and would be illegal under the Consumer Credit Act surely?).
It'd be great if you could reword the references to "your score" to prevent conflation of the score which you present via MSE Credit Club with the internal credit score which banks use. We get a lot of people on here who don't seem to understand that a "perfect score" on Experian does not mean anything to a lender. I appreciate there's a line to tread on this, but it's unhelpful to conflate.
