Should I apply?

Hi
A couple of months ago, I applied for a 0% balance transfer barclay card and was refused.
I applied to experian for my credit report and there doesnt appear to be anything untoward on there. I'm on electoral roll etc.
That was a couple of months ago.
Should i try again or leave it a bit longer? Its just i'm really getting stung for interest at the moment on both cards!
thanks in advance for any advice given.
:confused:

Life's way too short!

    The first thing to do is probably to ask Barclaycard for the reason why you were declined, to see whether it is something you can fix. There is nothing to stop you applying for other cards, subject to caveats about making a large number of applications over a short period. You will probably get a better deal from a provider other than Barclaycard.
