    OK, but DO NOT pay for the three digit score as it is pretty meaningless and you'll be wasting your money. Just get the report to check all is in order.
    A poor payment history will have a detremental effect and lower the chances of a significant improvement in the short term, but lenders like to see trends so his recent payments history may be slightly beneficial to him..........but by how much ?

    Sorry i dont really understand your question there :rolleyes: :confused:

    Sorry, I confused you a little. It wasn't a Q to you, just that it's unknown by how much positive swing his very recent history would have over his negative past.
    It really is an unknown quantity as credit ratings are a mysterious black art.
  • Ahhh with you now!! Thanks for clearing that up!
