Application for credit card

Options
I've had credit defaults in the past but have a really good credit score on creditexpert now 895 apparently.

I want to apply for a credit card and i know there are quite a few for people with previous poor credit so no worries there.

The only problem is for some reason my credit report shows that i am not listed as being on the electoral role even though i have registered and sent the info off over 4 months ago.

Is this likely to cause a problem when i apply for one of these cards and if so how can i get it sorted.

Please help if you can.
Wes

    just wait a little while longer. councils don't stat updating the ER until December and it may take a while for them to add everyone. not being on the ER can cause problems for credit applications. how long ago were your defaults? do u have a current acc? and mobile contract? no missed/late payments in last year?
