    Nope you have tried them all, sorry ...
  • What do you mean why the need for one then?
    All I am saying is that I would be paying it off every month hence I would not be paying interest

    Have you tried Sygma bank aka Creation finance, the do cards for likes of JJB. They only search equifax.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    If you have been turned down by these many card providers, chances are that you have left a very messy search foot-prints on your credit file. Your best bet would be to lay-off making any further searches you wish to consider, for credit cards for a while, a sort of cooling down period. I'll proffer a period of say 9 months to a year.

    I would, if I were you then carefully do a market research of credit card companies that are most likely to offer you a credit card in this gloomy 'credit-crunch' hard times.

    Have you tried getting one or two store cards like OUTFIT card provided by GE Money etc... They charge outrageous interest, but its a worthwhile stepping stone to getting credit cards from elsewhere.

    Here is the address for Sygma bank, could not find a website address for them as you have to go through one of the stores like JJB, Adams etc..

    Sygma Bank UK
    Equipoint,Coventry Road,Yardley Birmingham B25 8FE.
    0800 7835881 - SAYNOTO0870.COM thankfully acknowledged.

    Goodluck!
    Money is like a bird.....if mishandled, will simply fly away....

    What reason was given for being turned down? Have you checked your credit report? Do you have Defaults/CCJs? Are you on the electoral roll? Have you moved house a lot? All these matter.
  • I have had ccjs in the past
    Not moved house lately
    I guess I am just a bad bet
    Just was wondering if there was anyone I hadnt tried
    Thanks
