Re: Back :)
You may not get issued a big credit limit for your first card could only be a couple of hundred pounds. Depending on how much you are paying for the car it might be good to have a plan B.
Just a quick update.
Have decided to go for the buying a car option as it will give me more flexibility.
Am off to test drive a Hyundai 10i tomorrow!
The jobcentre have also given me a discount card which halves the cost of my bus fare (and trains if I choose to use them). It lasts 3 months.
I can't get a credit card until I get on the electoral roll (I want to pay for a car with a credit card to make sure I get the consumer protection) - and I checked today and I won't be on the roll until July (they only update once a month, no exceptions).
Haven't got the start date for my new job yet but I may travel by public transit and take a taxi for shifts when the buses aren't running - just for a couple of weeks until I can get a credit card - and then I will buy a vehicle.
Things a bit brighter since I last wrote which also helps.
