    I did a google search for poor credit and credit builder and along with the Cashplus credit builder it came up.


    It says you need to go to a branch for an application form. Going to call and ask the branch to post one to me, the call centre and new applications dont speak much English and dont know about the product, their customer service is abysmal.

    I would be keen to read the T&C's to see if they are offering to give a card against a security deposit, if all else fails.

    good luck and let us know how you got on wont you?

    I have just got the cap one classic and have the lowest credit limit of £100.
    This is my 1st cc in 6 years and I was pleased to get one even though it is a crappy rate, it suits me for now as I am only using it to for small amounts and will be paying it off in full.

    Hi,
    I got the same response from the bank of scotland card and that was a yes so don't give up hope - they are quite slow at getting the card to you though!!
