    Mine is STILL 1/5, I think this is because I cleared my Ll0yds loan with a DCA on a partial settlement and it still says it's defaulted, which I feel is really crap. I might put in a correction with them....not sure if they'll accept it or not, but worth a try. I've already put in requests to get my address updated as that was wrong and the electoral roll was wrong too. I wonder how many other companies have this info down wrong, hmm...

    Having the electoral roll correct helps, and apparently lenders like landline telephone numbers which also helps... I didn't have either of those right until about 6 months ago!

    Just checked and it still says I'm not on the edited register, I have no idea why it is saying that though. We don't have a landline plugged in, can I give the number anyway?

    Yes of course, you are #152 :wave: Don't worry about having to be DF by Christmas, I certainly won't be :rotfl: just keep updating and chipping away and I guarantee you will be in a better place by Christmas and on the way to being debt free :T


    #152 :T
    Thank you for this
    Hoping to be able to update by next week. Do my standard dd payments count or am I just counting extras?

    Have you checked that the council has you down right?

    Mine was 3/5 when I opened it.

    OH's is still 1/5 but hopefully next month / the month after it will go up as he will clear his DMP tomorrow :j

    I've just dropped the council an email to check if they have me down correctly :) I've also put in a request to tell them that one of the accounts has been closed for over a year now.

    My sister has just paid me £50, I don't know whether to pay it off the OD or pay it to the cc?!?! I think the cc is a higher interest

    Edit: thrown it onto the cc... 6 more days until the statement comes
