if they just block the card number, issuing a new virtual card from your bank (or use revolut or something like that) would easily solve this

  If they didn't have trouble getting a card at all in the first place. Credit scores aren't always accurate (I didn't even know Europe had such a thing before moving to Germany and starting with a blank slate that defaulted to "and so we can't guarantee anything so: no") and you need one of these numbers to do normal things in life like getting a hotel room on occasion. "Just get another one" isn't a choice one can necessarily make. Generating another number isn't an option my bank has either (eventually got a card after finding some else to be co-guarantor which this bank accepted — I don't even want to buy on credit, I just want to be able to fairly pay for things up front, and that's how this card seems to function in the first place)

    In the UK we have credit reports, but each lender will calculate their own score so the "scores" you get credit reference agencies are rarely important. You can get a debit card quite easily here.
