More on credit....

(heaves big sigh) Well, this sure ain't easy. Having been told by Bethpage that I'd be able to have a credit card, now seems it wasn't so easy. I'd been assured that they'd be able to use my UK credit history: this has been the sticking point 'cos I don't have one in the US, which means I can't get a card and then start creating a history (see what they did there?)

I posted earlier to say how great they were - wrong. It's been torture. They've since decided they can't give me an auto-loan, the business development manager just seems to be ignoring my calls and doesn't have the courtesy to call me back, and in the end I needed to give them a security (a five figure sum of money) just to get the credit card - which, by the way, has so far taken >12 business days and still hasn't arrived.

Rubbish. Change of opinion: Bethpage (as things stand) suck !
