Hi all
Is there any way getting 0% card with default registered in my name since march last year witch is been settled for 3 missing payments? I do have 4 cards, natwest, Barclaycard, cit and Halifax with only natwest had been paid fully, is there a way of negating a 0% for existing customers?? If so which one if these four is the easiest from people's experience.

    I got them all before that stupid default, except citi card I didn’t even ask for cc, I applied for the current account online and got their cc with £3500 limit! And that 4months after the default

    Ok may be I am not sure what default means then?? 3 missing payment count as default right?? Or is that wrong?

    it has to be marked with a red 8 and say that the account was defaulted on such date i think you were maybe just in arrears as a default would possibly put you in my situation as to have no credit for 6 years as that is how long they stay on your file!

    Thanks for the clarification, and I am sorry about yours. This defaulted account is the only ugly thing in my file, and it was by stupid mistake for stupid amount.
