    it looks bad that you needed a payday loan
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Indeed!

    But paying back credit arrangments on time surely must go towards improviing your credit rating irregardless of the sort of credit it is? :(

    Obviously, it wont look good to a creditor on my credit file but my credit score must improve? I've never missed or extended the repayment date for Wonga loan by the way.
