  • Hi everyone this thread is great,

    My finances hit a massive low 3 years ago when i became very ill and couldnt work and i got 14 defaults and 2 ccjs ever since even though im back at work no one would give me anything i tried them all cap1, vanquis, aqua, monument, catalogues everyone declined me flat, then i got a halifax basic bank account 2 years ago and in april they upgraded me to a normal current account with a £100 overdraft it was like chistmas I have never been so excited finally a chance to prove i am now sensible and improve my credit rating, unfortunately being an idiot i got carried away and applied to all the subprimers for a card so i can rebuild my rating only to have them all turn me down again, now I have an even lower score,
    BUT suprise, suprise I opened a CREDIT AGREEMENT from cap 1 today which i signed and sent straight back I can now finally get back on track, I will make my payments and not do any more searches im so excited i had to share it with you all,
    now ive given you my life story i will ask my question,
    whats the difference between the cap1 classic card and the others because I applied for one with a monkey on it and disapointingly im getting the plain blue one( well not disapointingly im still very happy), i was just hoping someone could tell me?
    thanks for reading :j
