Yet another kick in the head

I have been released for over 2 years and still having problems.Apart from being refused for 5 home contents insurance,numerous(cheaper)car insurance,all adverse credit cards,bank accounts and various other things.I am know being asked on on-line job applications"have you been made BR in the last 7 years"as soon as i put "yes"a message comes up saying "you application was unsuccessful"(that's even before you apply for the job).
Life as a released BR at the moment seems just as bad as before i went BR,at least then i could get cheap,pay monthly insurance.
Am i the only one who feels like this? Would love to hear if anyone else is in this situation

I know this may seem like an obvious question as you've probably already done this, but have you requested your credit file? that is the best place to start and you can maybe see from that why you are being refused credit. Good luck
