I was recently turned down for a loan due to my credit report; I found this odd as I've never missed a payment on anything (a few a day late perhaps). I've checked my credit report and found it to be a mess, with several issues such as:

  • only showing one bank account out of 3 (the one due to be shut soon)
  • neither of my credit cards showing up
  • apparently not being on the electoral role
Apart from these problems, what should my credit report show? I was thinking maybe contracts with mobile providers and utility suppliers. On a side note I also seem to have a lot of linked addressees - is this a bad thing? And how does it classify those late payments?

Thanks.

If you're not on the electoral role you're not going to get normal high st borrowing. The other bits sound like a complete mess and in all honesty I can only assume it is something you have filled in or answered incorrectly. Get a copy of your file from experian or equifax and see what is on there. If you don't agree with something, take it up with the company in question.
