  • 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

    hope answers ur q

    yeah because ur not on electrol register they have to make sure ur not comitting fraud so they will ask very indepth questions even though ur not on register u had a decent score from two account u have but being on register would boost u high i have same problem at moment been trying to get on electrol roll for years but my council crap but finaly has happened on 1st of dec

    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.
