Yes. The score is irrelevant.
Lenders will look at your credit history, income, loan amount and so on.0 -
is there a way i can see this on experian
because currently there is nothing in my file its blank no loans. or current checks or credit/finance0 -
Have you checked the other CRAs for details of your existing credit?0

So what *is* on your file?stubruscooby wrote: »because currently there is nothing in my file its blank no loans. or current checks or credit/finance
How old are you?
What credit products do you hold/have you held, and with whom?
You should possibly also check out Equifax and CallCredit. Suggest just a £2 statutory report for Equifax and www.noddle.co.uk for CallCredit.
And stop wasting money on credit scores from the agencies!0 -

No electoral roll information?stubruscooby wrote: »there is nothing on my file
No previous addresses?
No credit searches? (must be some if you're being turned down for credit!).
No financial associates?
Have you had credit products in the past? If yes, how long ago?0 -

no it gets weirder. i just tried noodle and callcredit and both cant give me anything as they say the cant verify my identity very weird0

So you have no credit, your credit only stays on 6 years, lenders will be wary as you have no proof of managing credit. You'll need a starter product to prove you can manage credit.0
