Help me escape Store Card Hell!

I stupidly ran up a store card by taking money out to pay my rent in the last few months as a student and now I want to get a balance transfer card, but I'm finding it hard as I've only just started my job and haven't got any money!

I can't keep going with the SC because I can only afford to pay off a little at a time, which amounts to almost nothing hen the next lot of interest goes on.

Does anyone know of a balance transfer card that's easy to get?

Please help!!!

  • Hi

    I would say none of them are easy to get. It will depend on credit rating, how much you earn, how long at your address, good payment record, on electorall roll etc etc.

    I have just got a Skycard MC which is provided by Barclaycard. It was quick and easy to apply and given a £7000 limit with free BT's till April 2006. Before this I had a Halifax One card 9 months at 0%.

    Good Luck
