Good idea to have Direct Debits on Bank account to boost credit rating and if so how many?

I wont bother doing any more credit file checks after the failed checkmyfile one because usually if you poke around too much you end up with your head above the parapet.

That's another misconception - nobody's going to force you to look at your credit files (via the free access routes above) but there aren't any adverse consequences if doing so!
