I'm too scared to apply for anything at the mo. Should have a better percentage of unused debt registered beginning of December and so might gve it a go then. I have a settled ccj from 06 and a settled default from 07. I do have another default on my file that has just appeared though, showing as date of default 06.
I have moved since then though so have not had any letters. If I apply for new credit does that flash like a beacon to the unsettled default?
Also had a Natwest account for 10 years plus and though they are happy to keep upping my OD, they say they will not give me a CC. Should I give up hope and try banking elsewhere?Got Halifax Classic to reduce my interest rate by 5% woohoo - 10/06/08 Thanks MSE!
