    I don't think your overdraft has an effect on your credit rating.

    How do you know your rating is not very good?

    Are you on the electoral role? Had any other form of credit in the past. It could be bad because you have no credit as such rather than bad because you have not handled your credit well historically.

    Go and get yourself registered as this will improve your credit profile.

    If you can hang off until this shows then you will find that more people are willing to talk to you as such.

    With the last loan, did you have it long? As sometimes paying it off too quickly can have an adverse effect to.
