Building Your Credit Score after a DMP

Hi there guys!

I'm jumping the gun by about 3.5 years here :)

But I wondered if there are any tips for building your credit score after a DMP.

Where do you start if no one will touch you???

I do keep telling myself that I'd have drowned anyway credit-wise if I'd not done my DMP, so it doesn't make an almighty amount of difference.

But I'd hate to get to the end and struggle to change my mortgage, for example.

Many thanks, CC

    You could get worse advice than that of Martin Lewis, so have a read of the article above.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
