No Credit History - Non Status Credit Cards
Individuals who have no previous or existing credit agreements in place may find it difficult to obtain credit. This is because they have no credit history and lenders are unable to assess whether they are reliable payers or a good risk.

Fortunately some lenders do offer credit cards designed to build your credit rating, and although their terms may not be as attractive as those of the products offered to prime applicants, they do offer individuals the chance of building a credit history.
