Pre-paid credit cards

polar_2

Hi all,
My history,have been in an IVA for 18 months, obviously I am not allowed a credit card.
My Job is moving to scotland and will need a credit card to book hire cars or flights down south every week may also require to use it abroad. A debit card cannot be used in alot of hire car places or abroad.
I have been looking at a pre-paid credit card all the benifits of a credit card but you load the funds before hand.
http://www.everything-financial.co.uk is the site I have been looking at as they supply a card.
Has anyone had one of these cards or any advice etc or know of any other pre-paid credit card companies.

Thanks

Will your company not provide you with a corporate card?

Be strange for a company to expect an employee to book loads of expenses without offering a corporate card?

I ordered one of these prepaid credit cards from http://www.everything-financial.co.uk in March, it is now September and it has not arrived.

When you call their office you get an automated service that explains due to to many complaints they can only be contacted via email!

When they do eventually respond to email they give out excuses about being constantly let down by 3rd partys. Always they say 'the card will arrive in the next 3 days'. It never did.

A very limited run down of excuses can be found here:

They are now offering new similar highly priced services. Personaly I will never be getting involved again with any product offered by everything-financial or which involves CMS and Instabanc
