    I would definitely keep the halifax tbh as a few years will be better than a few months in terms of credit history. It is up to you which one you close but I wouldn't have thought you have too much available credit compared to income but wait and see what Amex give you!!

    We are remortgaging next year too - need to get shot of Blemain!!

    Thanks Dolally,

    Some people are never satisfied ehh - i'm a bloody nightmare. I finally get these cards and now I'm talking about cancelling them lol. I'm just nervouse about remortgaging and if the defaults aren't bad enough I don't want to be rejected for too much credit lol.

    We only bought our house 18 months ago and got our mortgage through SPML - sub prime. Only found out a few weeks ago that SPML are owned by Lehman Brothers :eek: . I know we won't get a prime lender but even if I can find another sub prime at a similar apr to our current one. What with the current market, I'm starting to get a bit nervous :o

    Who's Blemain??

    Blemain is the nasty sub sub sub prime you get when your mortgage is in arrears!!

    We have been super good with our mortgage ever since and have had blemain a while so fingers crossed we will get somebody ok! Will go through an advisor though.
