    never had a loan or been in debt either!....what could the problem be?

    This is probably your issue. You have no credit history at all.

    You would be better starting with a credit card like vanquis or capital one classic and build up a credit file for a year or so before applying for bank accounts otherwise you are likey to be turned down, and the more things you apply for in a short period of time the worse you will make it.

    "How do I pay for my order?

    New Customers
    You may be asked to pay for your first order by credit/debit card, so that we can verify your identity. The card provided must be registered to the account holder at the same address the account is held at."

    I suggest you look at the following two links:

    &

    In that order.
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    Hi martino17

    I am sorry to see your post. If you would like to send me some more information I can investigate for you regarding the Aviva credit searches.

    To enable me to help I will need the following details:
    • Full name
    • Date of birth
    • Full postal address at time of searches
    • Dates the Aviva searches took place
    If you could email this to [EMAIL="rachel.walker@aviva.co.uk"]rachel.walker@aviva.co.uk[/EMAIL] I can take a look and see what's going on.

    Kind regards

    Rachel
