My boyfriend has excellent credit however mine is poor I have had nothing major basically I've missed the minimum payment on my befit card a good few times I don't have a ccj or anything.

Do you think we will get approved or do you think there is no point in applying.

    Hello,

    I would suggest to print off your credit files from the 3 major referencing agencies (Equifax, Experian, Call Credit) then taking them to a broker to see what your options are, don't just go to your bank as you may not fit their policy but there are many lenders out there and if it is just late payments there should be a lender for you!
