Hi,
If you have a bank account with almost any bank unless you have a bad credit history the chances are they will issue you with a credit card. (even with a small limit on it)
Regarding the "written off car" this would be covered by insurance as if you had a credit card with a small limit it wouldn't be enough to cover the damage anyhow.
