    The only people who would be affected are those you're "financially associated" with ...that means joint finance agreements

    Thank you for the prompt reply :):) , i have no financial attachments with anyone all credit was taken unsecured by myself. at least now i can begin sorting this as i have the £100 b/r fee and application filled out . one other thing is will this really affect car insurance premiums as i cant see that it makes me more at risk on the roads . i read this online and cant see the logic in it at all:eek:

    i am using an old car my dad had lying around just now , but it was just for future reference as i will need to get a car for work purposes as im looking for employment quite a distance from home . i just dont see why car insurance should be affected by having debt problems i mean if i didnt make a claim or crash into anyone why should a premium rise due to a b/r and i have never not paid insurance

    It's more to do with applying for credit for insurance, if you pay monthly then you you will be credit searched. Also, an unrecorded enquiry is placed on your file when you do a qoute.

    I think that's the basis of it...
