Credit Score

Hi all,

I have recently checked my credit report which is now good. As my credit card is at 18% interest I applied for a credit card at halifax. They have advertised an offer of 0% for 25 months on balance transfers. Therefore as I thought my credit score was good I would stand a good chance of this offer. But Halifax declined. I checked my credit score and it has now gone down to fair.

Can I do anything to change my credit score?

Many Thanks

Starssky

    The credit score that Experian, Equifax and Callcredit give you is irrelevant and a con. Pay no attention to it.
