    DannyNixon,

    The card is called CashPlus with Credit Builder facility.

    Good luck!
    Stop! Be careful before you spend your hard earned cash on this service, make sure that you have a passport or drivers licence otherwise you cannot use the credit builder service, I was stung with this scam, yes it is a scam because the hid the ID requirements in the T&C's very well, it cost me £14.95 to find out, so I am stuck with a Mickey mouse pretend MasterCard that is about a useful as a chocolate fireguard!

    I'm on this board because I got given a Monument Visa card altho when I applied it was called Providian. Now it's called a Barclaycard Platinum Visa which sounds all very swanky but the reality is it's still a card designed for those with a lowish credit score & they will ravage you with the interest rates.

    Hi Lula, a little confused by this, I have a Barclaycard Platinum Visa and receive 2% cashback on supermarket/petrol, with an interest rate of 14.9%.
    Are you saying that the Monument card has morphed into the Barclaycard? If so how come you can still apply for a Monument card?

    After looking, it seems 9.95 of this is a card issue fee. I am pretty sure it is only £5 a month. Gonna apply in the morning me thinks

    My mate just applied for a provisional driving license, costed him fifty quid! I'm pretty sure it was cheaper (35-40) when I applied for mine a couple of years ago.
