The credit limit on a poor credit credit card is usually much less than that of a credit card that is offered to people with a strong credit rating. You could expect a minimum credit limit of about £200. Having mentioned that, as long as you retain a good record and clear all your bills on time, there is no grounds why your limit shouldn’t increase over time as you build trust between you and the credit card company.
