Online credit cards

MBNA card - The MBNA cards have a very low balance transfer rate, (1.9% to 2.9% for around 5 months). If you've got a large balance to transfer from another credit card, the action the transfer rather quickly, and the rates are some of the lowest around. Beware though - if you use your MBNA card to make a purchase, your repayments go to paying off the purchase FIRST at a much higher rate.

Credit information
There are two main agencies in the UK that hold information about your credit status, and for £2, they are obliged to send you a copy of your record, under the Data Protection Act. You'd be surprised what they know about you!

The reports contain information on the electoral roll at your current and previous addresses, details of which companies have been searching on you, and your credit history with companies who you currently have credit with (purchases, mortgages, loans and credit cards).
