Hi.
The default was for £500. The only other credit I've had is my mobile phone contract which has always been paid on time. I've never had credit cards or loans (the default was for an overdraught).

Hi Paul,
Would suggest that an adverse credit card such as Vanquis or Capital One and then demonstrate you can manage credit again..
A quicker fix than this may be hard to come by, but this will help rebuild your credit.
Log yourself on to experian and equifax and this will also give you an idea.
