    Are defaults as bad as a CCJ/IVA?

    I have defaulted due to circumstance over a year ago but never had a CCJ/IVA

    Perhaps with the credit cards/other credit there could be more options as I had to answer 3-10 on one question but 3 was the true answer.

    Otherwise great for an indication of credit rating.

    I got the weakest score, even though I have no defaults or missed payments, fools. :rolleyes:

    It gave me a 'good' but I have just recently got the MBNA card with the free balance transfer for 5.9% which was only open to people with excellent credit history - and it was agreed online instantly.

    I get the same as tired mum when I click start again (IE 6), other than that, it's looking good...Is it not, generally, a little obvious, though? Not sure I can see the point of the thing too much - might just be me.

    I agree with Rabbiddog, too, I think it would be cool if it could offer people advice ie "our data suggests that you could improve from a good to an excellent credit score if you were to: wait 6 months before applying again/pay your cards in full/get on the ER at your address etc" - save people having to do the playing themselves...

    Worked fine

    I got an excellent credit score so I can apply for the most difficult financial products, even tho I am a student and have no income.

    I figure therefore an income option should be added to.
