    Forget it, she has trashed her credit file and with the ccj's and stuff is not going to get any credit at all. Also the store cards will decline her.

    It might take longer than a year. I suggest to get help on the debt free wannabe board.

    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.

    Hi
    I have been turned down by everyone
    Aqua,Vanquis,Capital One,Monument,Initial etc
    Is there any other credit card companies that have not been mentioned that might accept me?
    I do have a prepaid credit card bit wanted a proper one
    I dont care how high the interest is as I wont be paying it!!
    I hope someone can help
    Thanks
    Tanya

    You clearly have some really adverse info on your credit file. As you have been turned down for all the sub prime cards I would guess you will not any credit in the near future. Concentrate on rebuilding your credit worthiness. This may mean noting more than waiting for the CCJS to fall off after six years. Sorry to say there is no magic wand.

    I was in your position seven years ago. I got a Capital One Classic card two years ago. I am now in the fortunate position that I can get mainstream cards at a low APR.

    After I got the message to say I had been accepted , I got a call today to confirm my details and said the paperwork was on its way to sign. Strange thing is when I checked Equifax/Experian , I have no searches registered at all ? Anyone else had this...
