Credit card and mortgage application

First_time_buyer92

Hi was hoping someone could help me out! 

I’m looking to begin the progress of applying for a mortgage/buying a home in the next couple of months.

I applied for a credit card two weeks ago because I thought you would need one (credit wise) to buy, but realise now that’s not necessary. Before I’m approved/denied the credit card m&s have asked for be for proof of identity.

Should I go through with this or will my credit report be better if I ignore or cancel? Just want to be in the best position I can for getting a mortgage!

Thank you in advance!

If you've applied, a hard search has probably been done and any damage has already happened. It doesn't really matter what you do from here apart from making sure you pay on time.
