Statistics suggest otherwise. That's the information that lenders go by. There's no need to prove anything. As that's the way of rebuilding your credit file.

I can understand the statistics would say most go back into dedt but i can esure you (not that i need to) i wont be heading that way, 5 years of not having much money or borrowing any & been very control, im not the same person who built up the dedt.

The only money i'll be borrowing over time will be a mortgage.

Debt free after 10 year:)
