    I think your exclamation mark key is broken. It might just be a bit of dirt making it stick.

    Lot of people on here trying to be clever presuming other people don't know the facts.
  • Facts?

    OK - so tell us which address you need to register for the ER on please?

    Oh yes and it is interest only the mortgage!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you are not resident and effectively renting the property to your mother then I would assume that you have a BTL mortgage? If that is the case then having the property as your residence may cause you issues with your mortgage lender. (They are known to check from time to time)

    600 sorry typing error again
  • No one sees your credit score or rating - whomever told you to get on the ER purely to boost your score doesn't know what they are talking about - fact.

    It may help with your eligibility though - have you tried already and been declined?

    You have been advised on another thread that scores are meaningless. Sorry to be blunt but based on your other threads the last thing you need is more credit. What happened to the DMP?

    Yes i have tried however i do have a couple of defaults from 4 years ago so i suspect this is the issue so i am going to have to wait the 6 years for them to drop off it seems. I was told if i was on the roll it would be better as it makes me look more stable. Thank you for a good response Gary
