Credit clean up

Well, i have started to clean my file up after i was discharged last novemeber (would have done it eariler but been to ill to do) i got my Experian file last week and have just wrote up 10!! yes 10 letters because of it being incorrect, still says i owe roughly 9k when i dont! will be sending letters off for the other 2 this week.

It got me thinking of how much incorrect information is on our files and it shocked me! :eek:

I tired to get a vanquis card to try and build up my credit rating and after seeing this im not shocked they said no lol

On a positive note, i have been able to get a 3 rolling contract there credit scoring must be low to accept me :)

I just wanted to say thanks for the sticky and its opened my eyes!

I wouldnt be here without this board, so thanks :D :j
