    do you guys think its easier to get a visa or mastercard?? just wondering

    I don't think the card scheme is relevant to be honest. There seem to be more Visa issuers and so I guess more people are likely to be accepted for Visa cards. Of the sub prime issuers most are Visa I think, but i doubt that is a influencing factor.

    i have a quick question i was thinking about today, if you get a credit card and in the first month do a balance transfer to it and it nearly takes you up to the limit, does that look bad on your credit file?? i was just thinking other creditors if they do a search will think youve maxed it in a month or so!!! or am i just not in touch with things

    Do JD williams report to all three credit reference agencies?

    According to others they report only to Experian.

    My Grattan catalogue reports to Experian and Equifax.
