That's because the idea of a Solo is that you don't need a credit rating/good credit rating.
Why is this different for a Meastro?
Solo cards are pure debit card, they link directly to the account so wont let you go over in any way.
Switch/Maestro are different as they like a halfway house between a debit and a credit card, and any transaction £10 or below is guarenteed by the Maestro. I racked up £800 ON TOP of my overdraught limit because of the £10 guarentee thing a few years back, hence the bank not letting me have another.
Ahhhh, thats what i needed to know, so basically you can get into trouble with a maestro but you cant with a solo
