electoral roll

Hello,
I have been in the UK for two years. My wife is French and I am from latin-America. My wife was offered a credit card after a few months of opening the account. Two years later it is still impossible for me to get a credit card. I checked my credit report a few times and as today the score is 799. Everything is in good order except the fact I am not on the electoral roll.

Since I am not from the European Union I am not allowed to vote or register to the electoral roll.

I hope someone would be able to help and provide some indications of what can I do to apply for a credit card.

Thank you for your help!

Cheers

Josuemo

    For most lenders, not being on the ER will be an instant decline...sorry to be so blunt but that's the way it seems to be.

    Oh and stop paying for credit "scores" they are worthless and be zippo, nowt, nothing, nadda
