in Credit cards
For all the good advice etc. It is really all for people with money already and good credit rating.
Earning 40k and being turned down a 0% card for 2 years to pay off 4k should be easy (c. £200 a month). But no.

You need to ask yourself why you have persistent debt when earning £40K, because lenders do hence the declines.0

It's a minefield no matter what anyone tells you, the circumstances are endless and lenders make and change the rules, you can help yourself by making sure you have the basics covered:
Make sure your on the electoral roll
Check all your credit files
Make sure all your payments are up to date
etc etc etc0 -
OP do you actually have a question or did you just come here to vent?0

Back in October, OP posted in another thread that they had a bad credit rating and that paying back a credit card debt at a rate of up to £150 per month would be a stretch.
So that potentially answers the question about why lenders won't give a good BT deal - despite the irony that a good 0% BT deal would actually help OP to restore some financial order and be less of a lending risk.
I don't know your circumstances, OP but there must be, or must have been, something else financially crippling in your life to render you in this position whilst on a £40K wage.
Would you like to share just in case someone here can come up with a solution?0 -
Nothing crippling, just London living costs.
I stand by what I say, though, all deals are for people with good credit ratings etc. I've tried offering something that will clear a debt, but get ignored.0 -

In fairness to the OP a £40k salary might be very good in rural Wales but is pitiful in London.0
