Hi all
I had a tombola account mant years ago and i noticed they use credit report to check you.
I bought a house a couple nonths ago and my oartner is also thibking of getting a nee car on finance in the next year. Now we are linked on our credit rwpoets due to the mortgage. I only have debts on a 0 percent deal which i will clear by the time it ends. I have my virgin mobile account and he has insurance, car finqnce, mobile and virgin tv accounts on his.
Im. Worried fhat it could affect anything.

Isn't Tombola a bingo website?
I doubt they lend money and would have performed a full credit check on you.
It's likely they only did an ID check, which won't be visible to lenders who check your credit file.0
