in Credit cards
Hi folks, hope you're having a good festive season. First post on this board so forgive me if it's been asked already.
I'm looking to balance transfer on to a new card, but with a couple of missed payment dates and a returned cheque, my recent history is spotty. So imagine my surprise when I entered all my details accurately and the 'rating' came back as 'excellent' with a gamut of cards recommended. I am suspicious!
Can anyone enlighten me further? Does the rating lead to acceptance or is there more to it?
Many thanks,
Ndp

The absence of any questions on your income and current available/used credit should give you an indication of it's likely 'worth'!0
