    hi london service card 250 u have to ask for one if reccomended it will issue one imediatley if not it will be refered if u had £8000 loan that went straight through i would say yes ur internal score is high as they only usually give above £7500 to those who account is satisfactory but will also mean ur external score is getting to the top too

    Thanks for that - funny engouth I damaged my servicecard , so I called to re-order a new one (never asked about the servicecard250) see what comes through the post next week! While I was on the phone the lady said ' theres a note to invite you to a review' - too late I said , got caught in branch last week!

    You say my external score must be good - try telling Barclaycard that - I had originally decided to 'keep' this card and pay off monthly (or so) but they have started to play silly again - interest rates up and limit down again(in the last 18 month - gone up then down then up then down and down again) so awaiting till next week when my statement will show clear and then they can bog off!:beer:

    I'm unemployed, currently looking for work. I have an overdraft of £1000 nearly maxed out and a credit card that is £300 away from maxing out. Is it possible to get one of these sub prime cards or will I automatically be turned down due to debt/unemployment?
