    Hi oregon,

    Don't worry too much about the dates. Try to put an approximate date of when you first spent on the cards. For ours, we had an idea of the year, but not the date, so just put the 1st Jan that year and explained at interview we really weren't sure. It wasn't a problem at all.

    I will give it a guess when i first started spending on the card have found my loan start date so that was easy
  • As CG said, estimates will generally do, but if you want to be really accurate, then get your credit file from each of the three companies and all the start dates will be on there.

    I orginally put the dates on mine down when I thought I got them, but when I did get my credit file, some were a year out.
