    ICan'tStandIt... I really don't think you understand the spirit of this thread!

    I've been in a position where I cannot obtain mainstream credit / finance and had to resort to taking out Capital One and Vanquis cards in order to restore my credit reference files to a decent state. After nearly two years of staying squeaky clean I can now obtain some of the best offers and credit deals.

    And this is exactly what people posting in this thread are aspiring to, they're not trying to raise as much credit as possible to go out and blow it, just simply trying to get back into the mainstream, and 'sub-prime' cards are a means to an end.

    I'd suggest if you have no real useful input to the thread that you refrain from posting any further.


    Regards
    UNDERGROUND :D

    P.S. Enjoy reading through this thread regularly, nice one PROLIANT! ;)



    nicely put underground that has it to a tee

    I know my score is still shot - like the rest in the 'club'. Hopefully this time next year we can all look back and take a sigh of relief.....providing we don't keep applying!:D

    I did my score using experian and got 652 (poor).Sorry do you mean if I have any defaults/ccjs etc? If so I have none and have not missed a payment on any bill for the last 14 months, i just have a lot of credit at the minute with the likes of citi/capital 1 and a managed HSBC loan.
