advice please :)

Hello hello,

Need some advice please!

I recently applied for a credit card with goldfish and was declined !! not really sure why !! so I decided to make use of the free trials with experian and equifax to gain access to my credit file .. there doesn't appear to be anything bad on my record - so I paid for their credit scores and got the following score - 803 out of 1000 - is this good or bad ?? it doesn't sound to bad to me !

I basically want to transfer my existing c/c balance to a low interest card but don't know why i was declined !!

Cheers

rormac

    every lender has diferent *credit* score criteria so experian/equifax and the rest internal score really means nothing in the grand scheme of things
