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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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! :)

    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.
