I had that problem too ... weird, eh ... they are turning away a customer who is about 100% likely to pay his bills, and then they offer credit to guys who are up to their asses in debt, making minimum payments on their credit cards just to keep their heads above the liquid manure they are in. I suppose I should go to my bank (I'm a good socialist; so, my bank is the Kingston Community Credit Union
) and borrow a couple of thousand, pay it off, and then I'll have a credit rating .... nah, I don't think I'll go through that bs. My grandad said "never buy owt on t'never never" ... He used to walk around with a wad of those old five pound notes, and if he saw something he wanted, he bought it. If he was short a few quid, he didn't buy it.
