    Yes, it will help. FOr many companies it's the first thing they check and if you're not on it they automatically say no.

    THough having said that I got many cards without being on the roll (I was on it but under my married name; my finances are done in my maiden name). Only found out last month!

    You have no chance of getting reasonable credit if you are not on the electoral roll.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
