  • Check your credit file.

    Applying for different types of credit could have a negative effect on your credit rating also, it looks like you are trying to take out too much credit and over commit yourself.

    Check your credit reports for CIFAS markers/comments.

    times have become hard............and i applied for a loan
    Be thankful you got refused. If times have become hard, the last thing you should be doing is getting a bank loan. How would you plan to pay back a loan if things are already tight?
    As mentioned in the first post, what does you're credit file look like? You need to take some time out to resolve the issues you are having as they won't fix themselves.

    Oh dear.

    If you have committed fraud, you will be excluded from every financial product going because nobody will want to touch you with a ten-foot bargepole. If you haven't, but someone else has stolen your identity, there are ways to repair this.

    From what you're saying, it's the former. What happened?
