    Try Capital One first then Aqua and Vanquis, these guy's do cards for people with poop credit ratings like my self. Good luck.

    As long as you dont have any adverse credit i.e missed payments/defaults or ccj's etc.

    Also try MBNA Classic MasterCard
  • And also get a copy of your credit files from Experian and Equifax just to make sure there is nothing erroneous reported.
