    Congrats Seph on your Monument. Look after it and it'll look after you lol. It's strange how they declined your hubby :confused: . Sometimes even no credit history is as poor as a bad one. Does he have any agreements in his name?

    S x


    He used to have a mobile contract in his name but he cancelled it on mutual agreement that the service he received sucked majorly but that was like two years ago now and since then, hes stayed away from credit even though he's got all the ID and is on the electoral roll. Maybe thats the problem? Too long without using credit and now he can't get any maybe?

    And thanks for the congrats :D

    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    That's prob it. Get him to check his Equifax and Experian online (for free lol) - to have a look to see what's on there. It may be worth applying for a Cap 1, Vanquis or Aqua to start building his up. We've all learnt the hard way about how to use credit, but at least we'll all use it wisely. He only need spend £20 or so a month and clear it in full each time.

    GL :)

    Sounds promising Mr P :j . Maybe they just need to double check the app. Did you meet the criteria ok?

    What's the green one??
