    I don’t have an issue putting down the current balance, to be honest I want sure which figure you’re supposed to put down as credit file shows a different one due to it being behind that’s all.

    No your credit ‘score’ you see using brokers such as Credit karma and clearscore or with the CRA’s directly are their own assessments of you - universal if you will. Each lender has their own internal commercially sensitive ‘score’ by which to assess you which has absolutely no bearing on how a credit broker or reporting agency see you - remember, they don’t lend you anything the finance company does!
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    Ok, thanks. I’ve never ever missed a payment on anything, had credit and make payments in the past. Pay our mortgage no concerns. 
    Just got a slight balance on my credit card, that’s the only thing and hoping it won’t stop tesco approving us for a loan. Thanks

    Your credit score is a fictitious figure that lenders don't even see. Ignore it. What they are interested in is your credit history.
