Just been checking through my credit files to check everything is in order and had a nice surprise. All three of the reports now have my credit scores in the excellent bracket.
I know that the randomly generated scores don't mean anything to lenders but it did make me smile today to see that the scores are on the up. It's been a long time coming.
It has been snowing here in Sheffield for an hour or so. Quite heavy at times but it hasn't settled thankfully.3 -
