my example of credit report

HIya I am curious as to how my credit report looks to everyone. Have checked Equifax and its as follows.

12 active credit accounts, ie bank accounts, mobile contracts, catalogues, (green)

3 closed catalogue accounts showing with a green (s)

one red default that will drop off in August of this year
and one red default that will drop off in DEcember next year.

I have a lot of searches that, providing they last a year, will drop off next month and am on the electoral role.

Is there such a thing as too many credit accounts though, even if theyre showing as green?
Save £300 in Jan £515/£300-Lose 10 lbs in Jan- 8/10,Cap One M/C £0/£200,Cap One Visa £0/£200
Aqua £470/£550, Vanquis £477/£1250,Bank of Dad £1668/£3500, legal aid £0 left, Littlewoods 0, Very £306/left,Choice £0/lefthave paid off in January 742.89

    You can never have too many accounts. It sounds a lot like my credit report.

    I have 11 accounts - 4 active CC's, 1 personal loan, 2 mobiles (both in default), 4 current account overdrafts of which 3 are Halifax reward accounts. I also have 10 dormant or closed credit card accounts.

    Oh...and I forgot to send back the voter registration form so I am no longer on the electoral roll.

    Sounds fine...well after the defaults go it'll be perfect.

    Looks pretty reasonable to me, once those reds are gone anyway! :beer:
