Is there chance of finance?

Dear All... I don't know if anyone can advise, but any thoughts or advice would be massively appreciated.
Basically, in March 2009, I commenced a DMP with payplan. This came to an end at the end of October 2014 (last month). I would appear to have defaults on a couple of (now cleared) loan since March 2009 according to Noddle. These are now all paid off.
According to Noddle (for whatever it's worth), my credit score is 1/5.
Now, I really want to have laser surgery on my eyes. Where I'm going, there is the option of paying in monthly instalments with Hitachi Finance.
What are the chances I would get approved for finance with Hitachi finance at this stage? Is it just out of the question? Am I dreaming? Should I wait and just keep checking my credit file with Noddle?
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated to save myself any embarrassment.
Thank you.

I'd say your chances of getting more finance are slim.
But I would venture to suggest that laser eye surgery is not exactly an urgent necessity, certainly not enough to get yourself further into debt ? Sorry, I'm not meaning to sound harsh or condescending, just realistic.0 -
Im sorry to say you probably have 0% chance.
I have applied to Hitachi Finance a few times for credit to buy a new gaming PC and was turned down. With experian im 807/999 (Fair Rating)0 -
What are your chances of surviving a fall from a high cliff?
As Ebe Scrooge has said, Lasek isn't exactly something that has to be bought right this second. You could save up for it over the next 6-12 months and pay for it that way.
You'll probably be waiting a good few years before you can expect to get accepted for any good finance deals.Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.
ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.0
