    A quick google suggests that this is just an internal marker, so it shouldn't affect anything outside lloyds, but inside lloyds, they don't want to give you credit for some reason.

    The credit score doesn't mean anything. Experian generate it using some function on the data they have, but each banks will use an entirely different functions to decide whether to give you credit, depending on who they're looking for. What's more important is that your credit report shows ability to pay on time, not defaulting. etc.

    CPD = Credit Policy Decline

    CPD only affects Lloyds TSB accounts

    Are MBNA cards any good? Or any suggestions ?

    Also don't have my name on the voters role, would that affect my application ?

    You can still have an excellent credit history but still get a CPD at lloyds,they can put one on your account if you've got high borrowing outside of lloyds and still have a internal score of 1 based on your behaviour or a new customers who they want to see good account conduct first.

    You can have a 1 excellent internal score with lloyds and that doesn't mean a CPD is not been slapped on there.

    All still very confusing, I've been on this CPD decline thing for a year now, and just scared that if I apply for credit anywhere else I would automatically be declined :(
