    You don't have credit files, as you're 17.


    It would be easier if you kept everything to one thread.
  • You cannot (in theory anyway) take out a credit agreement until 18 so you won't have a file as such as you won't have credit facilities. At 18 you should open a basic credit builder card and maybe a basic mobile contract and use them properly - spend a small amount on the card and pay in full by direct debit after the statement and just get on with it. Accept credit limit increases if you are sensible and can manage it
