    This is a UK forum. Your bio states you are from the USA. Any financial advice/info you post is not relevant as you are giving out incorrect advice/info to people and marked as spam as our 2 countries do things differently.

    The UK aspect really needs highlighting more on the forum/website as whilst it is known by most users, it's implicit rather than reinforced stated. The website is a ".com" which is often accepted as US, yes well aware there may be non US .com sites. MSE and martin Lewis are probably known worldwide as the web is worldwide. It is very plausible that someone can come across the website/forum and not realise it is mostly UK.

    Ok. Just sorry me.

    And now you're spamming with links to credit improvement websites.

    Please stop

    You would be better off getting a GTR, faster, cooler and the girls(and guys) will be creaming all over you.

    Hi, so I am wanting to build a credit score around 600-700 as I need this requirement to finance a Range Rover Velar. I am 19 and just applied for a credit card I am wondering a couple of things: I understand that I have to pay the balances off each month on time etc but how else can I increase my score quickly/ how long would it take more or less to get to 600-700. Is their any other tips I could take to decrease this time frame etc.

    Thank you once again


    Did your school holidays start early this year?

    I just wish Amex saw how much cash I am bringing into my account.
    When you applied for the Amex card they will have asked your income. They will also have access to the CATO figures for your current account.

    I don't think the OP will return.

    I wonder whether Range Rovers are that great. My sister has had a load of trouble with hers.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.

    The OP would be better off paying cash for a Rsnge Rover and I reckon his insurance won't accept 'pharmaceutical dealer' as a valid profession!
