    Generally yes. It all depends on whether they report or not.

    Have you had a look at your credit report? - this will show you all the companies that are currently reporting and have reported over the past six years. You can get them from Experian, Equifax, Call credit for £2 each. Alternatively sign up for the 30 day free packages from experian and equifax to have a look, just remember to cancel within that period or youll get charged a lot of money.

    And dont get suckered into the £5 credit score rubbish. These arent worth the paper they are written on.

    Good point, I'll check see what reported on! :D

    Cheers for your help again, I appreciate it.

    Just as a follow up to this.

    I checked my credit report, and mobile phones (contract) arecounted towards your credit score/rating.

    A nice easy win if you take the phone, and just pay the line rental. :)
