Not really missed but there's not much you can do and the last thing someone who has just been discharged should be thinking about is getting more credit.0

OP has been discharged for a while now and may be loking to get a mortgage.
I would start by speaking with your bank about current account with cheque book as a first point. By using your account, ie making withdrawals and payments into, the computer will start to build your history.
Have you been in touch with the credit agencies and checked your file to ensure it shows all debts as satisfied?
