Avoid 'Credit Expert' and Aspire Money

Interesting news, I have just signed up for the "free" 30-day trial and have my credit report online now, even though I have a Bankruptcy still on there, discharged in 2008, my "score" was 745/fair. I had a look at the extra offers on there, I hope I have not been charged !!! I checked out AQUA credit card but was refused, then I clicked on Aspire and someone phoned me back within minutes !!! not spoken to them yet.
I will have a read around here regarding Loans and also on the BR/Living with it section, tbh I really could do with a loan as I want to do some Training and can comfortable afford a smallish payment over 3 years which would help rebuild my credit surely for when my BR drops off the report in 2 years time.0 -

Two things:
a) Why have you dragged up a year old thread?
b) Having done so why didn't you pay any attention to the many comments about the utter worthlessness of the credit score that you've been given?0 -
CAn anyone help???
On credit expert I have a Credit Rating of Poor....
The rating confused me as I have not missed any payments in the last year, am on the electoral role at my address and have a decent credit history.
How reliable is this credit rating?? I need to buy a car on finance but do not want to apply with a rating of poor.
please help!0 -
CAn anyone help please?
I joined Credit expert a year ago as a way of monitoring my finances.
My most recent credit score is gauged as Poor which I find remarkable as in the little box next to my score is a sentence that says "no negative factors affecting your score"
I have no missed payments and a good history, certainly not anonymous to credit. The thing is I want to get car finance but do not want to apply with a 'Poor' Rating as stated by credot expert. can anyone give me some advice please???0 -

Some people need to take a chill pill

I "dragged up" this thread AFTER I had come across the organisation "ASPIRE"
I have taken note of the helpful comments regarding my Credit Score
Useful to have more current info here for anyone googling "ASPIRE" imho0 -
