Tiscali?!?!

Hi, I moved house a while ago and Tiscali wouldn't let me take their services with me so I simply just stopped paying it!!! Now, I have my credit file and have no record of Tiscali on there but my credit score is very bad....could this have affected the rating without it showing on my report? :mad:

    it doesn't seem wise to simply 'stop paying it' ...why can't you cancel it properly?

    your credit 'score' can be affected by many things , are you on the electoral roll, lenght of time with employer, length of time with bank, level of debt and income, late payments or defaults, but not by something like that, that doesnot appear on the credit report.

    Also doesn't being in a new house affect it? As you haven't lived there long.

    No. That's why you're always asked how long you've been at a certain address when applying for credit.
