    Hi barbelr, do you know why you was refused credit?

    I would recommend that you pay the £2 and send off for a copy of your credit reference file to both Experian and Equifax.

    Once you have the reports, analyse them very carefully to make sure that all your information is correct.

    ...i dont have a mortgage and have no debts
    ... and hence no credit history. You can always start with one of the cards for 'beginners': credit card for no credit history ...
