Hi, just looking into the pre-paid credit cards and would like to get one. Will I be allowed in an IVA?

I swear by my Cashplus card Poppy ... having looked at all the charges associated with the others it still seems the best value in terms of charges £4.95 a month, no top-up fees when you load at any Post Office and no transaction fees ... so just costs me £4.95 a month and is invaluable.

I've got a Tuxedo card and I pay £4.95 a month and top up from my bank account which is free.

I'm with cashplus as well.

They also offer creditbuilder which can help rebuild your credit history.

Have a look,seems a good idea

Thanks Ladyh

Don't like Virgin though.

They are the main creditors that pushed us right over the edge 35% they put their interest up to.

I suppose they did us a favour really.

We have rang Virgin 3x in the last 6 months to get them put their interest down to 19% it was they say they will then put it back 35%. They are part of MBNA.

Rubbish just rubbish - the situation that is.
