Will Upgraded Bank Account Help?

Hi Folks,
I'm just wondering if, as per the thread title, having my basic bank account with Nationwide upgraded to a FlexDirect account yesterday will improve my credit score? I've been with Nationwide ever since I entered and subsequently cleared my IVA, but my credit score didn't improve dramatically and I've had their basic account for a number of years. However, after some fraudulent transactions on my account led me to go into my local branch and see them, they offered to upgrade my account. I watched them do it; a little green 'accepted' thing appeared on the screen so I guessed that it could have been declined, too. If so, this is good news - I hope! :j
Obviously, I'll be checking my credit record, too, but I know these things don't change overnight.
Cheers
TC

Credit scores are made up by the people that want you to pat for them.
Banks and other lenders do not see those scores. Totally meaningless and pointless. They wont lend you money.
Each lender will have their own criteria. Some may like it that you have no credit, Others may want you to have say less than 10% of your salary. or maybe 30%. They wont tell you..Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
