    On a lighter note did anyone watch 'Peter Kay's' comedy last Sunday?

    No, I missed it :( I hope they repeat it.

    Was reading all about it in Heat magazine, along with Jodie Marsh's lesbian antics lol
  • If you have no credit issues I would try , it may depend how long you have been here and what is registered in your name already.

    Hmm I shouldn't have any credit issues... I've never missed a payment on my Lloyds card or anything like that. What sort of things registered in my name do you mean?

    I think I'll give it a shot... I'd rather go for the Vanquis card for the £20 cashback -- the interest rate isn't as issue as I'll be paying off in full every month anyway.
  • There's nothing wrong with liking the x factor mr london :P it's good for your metrosexual side :P

    Evening all! :p
    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.

    Please save me trawling through previous pages lol. Exactly what nasties do you have showing on your credit file at this particular time. When were they recorded and when were they settled (if applicable).

    Also, what active cards/loans do you currently have and what are their limits and current balances.

    Sorry for being nosey, but these would help me make a fair assessment :D

    Hi Sammy, pleasure to share this information. Let me know if you need any other details.

    Equifax
    Four defaults registered May 2003, settled May 2003 due to come of file May 2009.

    Two accounts (serious arrears ‘6’ but not default) settled May 2003 due to come of file May 2009.

    Bankruptcy May 2003, discharged May 2006 (live in Scotland and sequestration was three years back then), due to come of file May 2009

    Experian

    Metrosexual? Does that mean like humping trains?

    Hi, have you checked your credit reports to make sure they're ok. You get a free 30 day trial with both Equifax and Experian online I believe. Do a search for credit reports on the home page, and it will bring up an article that mratin has written on the subject of credit reports - very interesting reading :)

    Unfortunately, little or no credit can be viewed by lenders just as risky as bad credit.

    Good luck, and keep us updated on how you get on :)
