Applied for a credit card, (Access, your flexible friend. For those old enough to remember LOL), when I was an apprentice and got refused. Couple of years go by and I find myself out of week for a few weeks when a flyer comes through the door for Access. Out of boredom I filled it in and was granted a limit of £500 How did that work? When I was earning I couldn't get one, go on the dole for a few weeks and they throw one at me!
Had the odd card over the years simply for emergencies but never used them. Now I am fortunate enough to have most of the things I 'want' and enough of a cushion in the bank to get the things I may need in an emergency. Having said that, we are changing our settee and chair but have opted for the interest free loan from DFS as they don't discount anything for cash/bank transfer. Gave the details, a quick click on the shops PC and it was confirmed.
