loans
I dont understand why i can get 2 credit cards hsbc and creation but not a loan,also no problem getting isme,littlewoods,next,mobile phone,pay4later finance for wheels for my car,new look store card,only 1 missed payment in 2 years of credit history and my equifax score is 440 and experian is 778,experian score is lower because they only show a few of my credit accounts which is annoying because most lenders use them,and a 1000 overdraft aswell.

Who did you apply for a loan with? I imagine you have done a few credit applications (searches) and thus this is why you are refused. ALso your income and debt/credit ratio needs to be taken into consideration. As you are an existing creation customer you could apply for a loan with them you may be more likely accepted? Those scores with credit ref agencies have no meaning so just ignore them.0

Maybe because of this
Finance isn't a competition to see who can get the most. You do realise "only" is not a good thing??These silly random numbers are pointless.
You must have missed the lesson it was a competition between the inhabitants of the country to see who can get the most finance in a set period of time.0 -

I think i nearly won this competition 8 or 9 years ago.:rotfl:
However, i paid all mine back with no IVA or deals etc.
I am not proud.
but i am happy not to owe anyone anything anymore.
Seriously, OP, 2 really important things :-
1) stop borrowing money.
and no. 2) stop borrowing money.
(yes, its the same thing but it's such a belter I had to say it twice!)0 -
You can't get a loan because you're overloaded with all that other shizzle..........number of accounts and available credit are a big part in the decision process."We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"0

Nice to see someone clearly so happy to give hundreds of pounds of their own money away to these companies each year. Even if it's a little bit insane!“In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing at all.” - Roosevelt0

The savings account is a brilliant invention.
Put money in it and, every now and then when you need o buy something, borrow from it.
That way nobody charges you interest, balance transfer fees or reports a missed payment every couple of years on your credit file.0 -
