Help me!!

Ok so today I have checked my file with Clear Score.... This is my report:
BANK. ACCOUNT. LIMIT. BALANCE
lloyds. Credit card. £10,000. £7,860
Lloyds. Current. £1,500. £0
EE
3

My score is 479/700 which I think is good and they appear to aswell, yet I applied for a loan and was declined. I've lived in my house 10 years and have a 90% chance of being accepted on loads of credit cards but I cant get a loan.

Also I'll be moving in a month, what steps should I take to protect my credit when I move??:j

  • My score is 479/700 which I think is good and they appear to aswell,

    It's not good, I'm afraid. Not good at all.

    It's entirely fictitious so please ignore it.

    You have a high balance compared to your limits, which won't help.

    What is your income?
    What do your files say (all 3, not just Clearscore) - missed payments, defaults?
    Any financial associates?
    Are you on the electoral roll?
    How much was the loan your applied for?
