A little help

hi there just registered, because i have a query

unfortunatley at the beggining of this year february i was 17 and used to take out lots of credit cards and loans to pay for my car .. which i have now payed off fully .... i have also closed all my accounts so i no longer have credit ... however last week i was 18 ... and i tryed to apply for credit with my real DOB .. and was rejected because the DOB was differant ..... how can i change the DOB on my credit repport so that i can start a fresh ?

a few points id like to make before anyone else does

i know this was wrong but atleast i payed it off
and i didnt think about the consequences , but i did get a decent car and a nice flat so the end justified the means ....

what im really after is a quick fix to avoid 1 getting into trouble .. and 2 avoid loosing my excellent credit score ??


any help appreciated

thanks guys

  • What you have done is commit fraud. I don't think there is a quick fix for that. :confused:

    whats a troll ? ... and whats so difficult about 10-07-1991 being percieved in application forms as 10 02 1991 thus being accepted im on the electoral roll aswell so for bad credit loans and cards they pretty much name check with equifax and electoral roll check for address ? ...
    so as it stands you guys think theres nothing i can do ? or could i ring the credit referance agencys and say the credit agreements cant be reported on based on me being a minor at the time ? .. or the companys must of got confused by the bad hand writing can you change it over ?

    If you are not a troll then scan an image on here of one credit agreement (with the personal details blanked out).
