I'm assuming that figure about bankruptcies is only US? I highly doubt that'd be the case here, thanks to our public health system.

Ali you naughty little shit-stirrer. Next thing we know you'll be suggesting another safari or something.

Thanks to lumberjim's guidance and advice, I've made actual contact with the dealership and am working on the process.

I would have just given up.

Thanks jim!

FTR - this week I have acquired a Pay As You Go credit card.
I researched it thoroughly before committing (although in fact I am not committed, if I leave the balance at £0 for 6 months it is cancelled).
There are no monthly or annual fees either.

It just means when (I mean IF) an internet bargain comes along, I don't have to borrow someone else's card. And if I keep £10 on the card I don't have to worry about it being cancelled.

It's not credit, but it has the benefit of credit without the risk. Yes it costs more (in top up fees and per transaction fees) but they are all up front and no danger of l'il Miss Irresponsible racking up debts.

Those are a good idea, and very handy when you need a credit card. Good move, SG!
