I'm now debt free (since 9:34)

Options
i was a bit stupid about 6 months ago

i was only working part time in a bar and ran my phone bill upto £743

obviously i couldn't afford to pay this off so well i got another job (accountant) and i have just paid the last bit off it now.

well anyway i've also just done a credit check thingy with annualcreditreport.co.uk

and these two things are red

your payment track record &&
credit applications and searches

i realise the your payment track record is going to be in red as i have only just paid this off to vodafone, and expect it to take about 4 days for them to acknowledge they have been paid and 1 month to update the credit ref they use, but i would like to know when is this likely to turn green?

and also the credit applications and searches it says
There are no credit application or search footprints on your credit report.
why is this i know i've had a few credit checks lately. but why is this in the red as i have not got any credit other then car insurance which doesn't show up at all on the credit accounts i have

:S
everything else was in the green :D

Basically i'm wanting to know wat is the best way to improve my rating?

should i get in touch with vodafone and ask for them to reinstate my contract etc.
