    Can I ask is my Score good or bad?
    It's neither good nor bad. It's irrelevant, stop worrying about the score.

    For starters, there’s a recently added HSBC account. Unless that has also been photoshopped in.

     Our business means we can't deposit payments into our accounts

    And what “business” is this exactly?

    Is it linked to your husbands recent “holiday”?

    How long before this improves? I'm rubbish with money? I don't think my credit score is that bad, is it? I opened a HSBC basic account recently no problems, my hubby is on holiday again for 3 years and before this holiday we have been rubbish with our finances.. Our business means we can't deposit payments into our accounts... I would like to get my credit score good again so I can order from bigger ladies clothing company's... As my husband is tight with his finances I am unable to purchase clothes, him being on holiday gives me breathing space, I am a larger lady so need bigger cloths... I need to improve my improve my credit score.... How long will it be to do this
    A hell of long time. That's basically as low as you can get. My 380 ain't that bad after all.

    My ClearScore is 344.... I have managed to get an overdraft, Vanquis credit card and catalog account with that score. I have a default that drops off in 18 months so hopefully will get a mainstream credit card when it's off...
