any advice? re applying for credit
Hi there, not sure if anyone can help but need some advice if you could...
i applied for some in store interest free credit from bensons for beds 4 months ago and was declined, i was quite shocked about this but on checking my credit file worked out that it was because of a dispute with a lender that led to several missed payments.
my score is now back up to 889 so its all healthy again but just wondered how long i should wait before i re applied with the same lender, Ikano
any advice would be great

Your score is 889 with a company that doesn't lend money.
You don't have an individual Credit score as they don't exist as scoring is done on a application status for which you failed which means you are in a position where you are too high risk to get a bed on credit.
Check your credit files only and please take no notice of the meaningless score.0 -
what do your credit files actually say
how much are your existing debts?
how much do you want to borrow
what do you earn0
