World's worst credit card

We've got no credit history here. Which means that no one will consider lending us any money. It also means that we don't look good when we try to rent a place. The way to get a better credit rating is to borrow money, and then pay it back. However, we can't, because no one will lend us any money.
So I went to the Household Bank website, and after much faffing, found a number to ring someone. They'll give us a credit card. Except they won't give us credit, because we have to put the money in first. And they charge $35 to set it up, and then $3.50 per month. So it's a bit crap, but it's the best we can do.
