Yes. Ignore it and build credit history instead with well managed accounts.

For a mortgage? Save a healthy deposit.  In itself a good signal to send to mortgage lenders as demonstrates financial discipline.

There are no quick fixes, have some credit - a credit card maybe, mobile phone, bank account, that should be enough. 
Pay your bills on time - set up a DD. 
If you have bad credit, time is the greatest healer. But it may not prevent you getting a mortgage, speak to a broker with experience in bad credit, there may be options.

It's not the score that's important, it's the credit history.

My partner and I have credit reports that are damn-near identical, the only difference being she has a credit card which is paid in full each month, and I haven't had a credit card for about 6 years. We're looking at options to borrow some funds to part-finance some home refurbishments; the best loan rate I could get was 10%, whereas she has been offered 3%.
