    Why would having a spotlessly clean credit-record with zero history of ever needing to rely on loans/or getting into debt have an adverse impact on me getting a mortgage? :huh:


    I had the opportunity in 2008 to withdraw around £10,500 onto cash from various credit cards, and so I chose to take that opportunity and then use the statute-barring method to get the debt written off.

    But so whilst yes for 6 years (until 2014) my credit-record showed those debts,
    Since 2014 (so for over 5+ years now) my credit record has been spotless, with no trace or record of any loans or debts whatsoever. :beer:

    I don't believe a word of what you say. Walter Mitty at best, straight up liar at worst.
    It's nothing , not nothink.
