Question about credit history,advice would be great.

hiya,

I really dont know if I am putting this in the right place and if its not then im sorry.I was just wondering,i have a good credit rating and was just wondering if a couple of payments that the bank sent back this last month would affect that.
I was in the middle of changing banks and as a result a couple got mixed up but they were paid when they took them again 10 days later so I was just wondering if this would affect my credit history,we dont believe it will but I was just wondering!
It was just a payment of 81 and 115 and like I said they were paid when they retook them and i spoke to the companies that it concerned and explained.Apart from this I have never missed a payment.
Many thanks
Katie

    Who were the companies concerned and what is the frequency and type of regular payment? (i.e. Monthly, Direct Debit)

    If the outstanding bill was settled within 10 days, the payment *shouldn't* be marked as missed, unless you were unlucky enough to straddle their payment cycle.
