    Subprime is for people who, for whatever reason, are not ideal customers for credit - in your case, not much credit history and not on the electoral role. Both are considered risks to lenders.

    (And I meant if you don't vote you have no right to complain.)

    i got £500 overdraft but no sure it'll use it for what I wanted it for.

    What else are you going to use it for?

    What product is subprime card?

    I wanted it for moving costs but I would be out of pocket again next month I don't sent to get into that trap so not going to do it.

    But just wanted extra credit in place in case I need it.

    Any suggestions for cards for me to apply for?
