How am I doing?

Ok - i have been trying to rebuild my credit after a CCJ in April 2008 (now registered as satisfied) killed my credit.

I have now got:

o2 mobile phone contract - had it nearly 3 years - no problems
Cashplus creditbuilder - only going 3 months but no problems
Capital One (the one where the interest rate falls every 6 months) - limit £800 - paid in full every month - had it for 7 months
Next - £250 credit limit - up to date - all paid on time
Marisota - £150 - credit limit - up to date - all paid on time

How is it looking?

I know the CCJ is a damning issue but I hope that i wont have to wait the full 6 years to be forgiven by lenders.
