A Credit Card for someone with no Credit

To Lauren Booth, "Life without credit card is impossible."

Could you survive 2008 without a credit card? The journalist Lauren Booth on how a credit card-free lifestyle in Britain is just not possible in today's world..... Going into the galley to get a symbolic large scissor, I flicked my way through a Rainbow with immediate credit. I was dizzy from extremism.

Many of you who read this also find yourselves robbed and fragile without a little credit in your backpack? It all seemed to be in order until my man, who supported the No Credit Card scheme, came there with our girls who were sleepy and willing to go swimming. Requesting a credit card at check-in is so much part of our cultural life that we don't even realize it.

Attempting to remain quiet, my man was producing a handful of dollars and offered both the 150 pound room price and a considerable amount of money to be admitted above. Reluctantly a room keys was skipped, but despite the payment in money he was said that none of the hotel's amenities would be accessible to him or the kids - beginning with room services.

Traveling at least without two credit card - one replacement if the other has a drawback - is a foolishness. You don't have a map? If you somehow succeed in booking your vacation with money, it is completely out of the question to rent a vehicle abroad. However, the biggest disability in terms of travels and living only with money is still the hospitality sector.

Another London company required a substantial payment in the form of money. Having spent 72 hrs in London budgeting 400 pounds, the hotelier happily took all my money and left me little small money for a daily ticket. During the three month period to last September credit and debit card issuance in the UK increased to £91.

An increasing number of borrower use credit not only for fun, but also to settle their budget invoices. My attempts to survive without credit have turned out to be an awkward fail.
