Rejected

Hi my partner has been rejected for aqua and capital one card. Hes also been declined finance in currys. We cant figure out why. He has a £4000 sofa on hp with his ex partner about 5 years ago but this has always been paid. He used to have a contract phone he always paid. He did have an old bank account with tbs that was constantly overdrawn but hes opened a new one with natwest. Hes on the electrol roll also. Does anyone have any ideas?

    He needs to get copies of his credit reports from the 3 credit reference agencies. Then he'll be able to see what the lenders who are declining him are seeing.

    Has now or had previously?
    Is he financially linked to them?

    Did he pay off the overdraft?
