    Useful article about how to improve your credit score up above. You should definitely read it. Your applications 2 years ago have got nothing to do with being refused now.

    If you want to get serious about applying for a card, you should look at your credit report. Sticky at top of the forum tells you how.

    I am not on electoral roll... I have outstanding debt and thought this is how loan sharks etc can find you!

    Then I wouldn't even lend you a tenner if you were my mate!

    The credit referencing agencies will help - as soon as you make applications you will need your current and previous addresses. They will put two and two together and make four and then you can look forward to being chased for your debts again.

    Good luck with trying to steal from the economy.

    It is illegal not to disclose yourself when you get the annual updates through the mail each year for the electoral role.

    Expect prosecution as soon as your local authority realises :o
