I would have thought so, provided you have a bank account and good credit history. Ask your bank manager, whatever bank you are with would be your best bet. And start off small, make the maximum on the card a small amount.
You need to be careful what you do with those things though. Don't go mad with it.

Yes there are several types of credit cards you can apply for. Some are secured which means, you have an account with money it and if you fail to make payments on the credit card they take the money of of your account. This account does not have anything to do with your bank account if you have one. Some are not secured which means there are no other accounts involved but they have a low limit ($500.00 or less) If you have regular access to a computer you can find the ads on many web pages or you can look them up directly if you have one in mind. Good Luck and be careful those things can get away from you pretty quickly and you end up in worse shape. Hope this helps>

Yes and you can get one simply by going online and sourcing the sites. It is a very competitive market at the moment and credit cars are easy to get but the trick is to live within your means and have a sound debt management strategy.

Try Vanquis - they gave me a credit with a £750 limit when Capital One refused.

Hey mich, I saw your other question about bankruptcy - do you really want another way of getting into ebt on top of everything else? Cos that's all credit cards are.
Please don't do it if you are already in trouble, it will just make things worse.
