the famouse mr p u gave me hope
from a banking point of veiw they look at several things amount of searches and amount of credit accounts too many searches are not that bad as long as there is a 2 month space between searches they prefer no more than 3-4 searches over six months
but also they prefer no more than 30000 in unsecured credit if it is this will show to banks as high credit facilities at buereu which means too much unsecured credit showing on cra

Yeah your right. I've got a feeling I'm on the Electoral as of 1st Dec too. But the local borough did say that even tho i'm on their register from 1st dec experian and equifax won't actually update their records on 1st of dec and it could take up to 6 weeks. what a long old process.0 -
