We care and have the patience to explain and explain again without jargon.


Guy Jones BSc Eng. Dip. PFS We help you with:


6 years, applications for 1 year. So if you can wait until they’ve lapsed to apply, it should boost your score.


5) Never miss or be late on repayments. Small errors can hurt large. Set up a direct debit to be sure you never miss. Do this even if just for the minimum repayment, then you can call up and pay more on top each month, see it as an insurance policy.


6) Don’t let ‘paid-for credit scores’ overly worry you. In recent years credit reference agencies have started to flog these, but don’t take too much notice. They’re only based on your credit file, not the other info lenders look at, and remember each lender scores differently. One may see cancelling a credit card as good as it reduces available credit, another as bad as it’s closing down a long term relationship.


7) Payday loans can kill mortgage applications. Some mortgage underwriters simply won’t lend to anyone with payday loans.


8) Deal with unfair defaults. First go to the firm that put them there and ask it to remove them. If not ask for a ‘notice of correction’ to be added to your credit file where you can explain briefly why it’s unfair and appeal to the Financial Ombudsman.


9) Check for address errors. An old, active, but unused mobile phone registered to your old address could even cause a mortgage rejection.


10) Don’t withdraw cash on credit cards. This is both expensive and seen as evidence of poor money management - avoid.
