I'm not good enough

Years ago I had a credit card with VMSA. After being retrenched three times in a row, I was left in a predicament where my account went into arrears. This was settled and sorted about 6 years ago (if not longer).<br> <br> For the past 5 plus years I have been doing pretty well financially as I now own a business. When I had my account I was earning xyz - which most days I now earn that monthly figure in a DAY, yet when I apply for my account to be reinstated or another one opened, my applications are declined time and time again.<br> <br> Am I really that worthless to VMSA / ABSA? There are reasons why I want the VMSA credit card thus me continuously requesting the reinstatement - every time submitting all the required documentation over and over and over again.<br> <br> Now who's backside to I have to kiss to get the account going again? Or must I rather just take my business elsewhere?
