    Get on the electoral roll
    Certain jobs / professions score better
    Self employed / employed
    Salary to expenditure
    How long you've been with current employer
    Married / single
    Time at current address
    Home owner tenant etc...
    Time with bank

    Just some ideas for what's scored by the creditors along with the data from the CRA's and what they already know about you from past dealings.

    Different lenders will score all this differently so could be rejected by one and accepted by another.
