Hi

l am just wondering if anybody can help me.

 

 

This is situation

l have had a mortgage since 2007 and was fully employed.

My problem started in 2013 when l defaulted

l had financial difficulties as l was in between jobs

this led to me defaulting on a credit card from Lloyds tsb which l had since 2005

 

 

the case was sent to the debtors but l have since paid it off,

and also had a store card with next which l had defaulted in the same year

but l have also paid it off and settled with them.

And l also have one late payment on my mortgage since 2007 when l took out the mortgage.

 

 

I have since paid off most of my credit and store and closed the accounts

and now left with one credit card and store card which l am keeping to try

and build my credit score.

 

 

When l look on Noodle which credit reference website my credit score is 525 which is poor.

 

I am now fully employed and back on my feet

 

 

is there anyway l can improve my credit score as l have paid off outstanding debts

as l am looking to get a new mortgage soon

and l can not afford to wait for 6 years for my credit score to improve.

What are the default marker dates on your credit file ? 2013 ? the damage should only be for 6 years from the date the default marker was first placed.

noodle

not a lot you can do sadly

paying your debts does not improve your credit rating

 

 

a default is there for 6yrs

paid or not.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Default marker dates are 2013.

 

 

My question is

 

 

my credit score is currently 525 and l want to increase my credit score

is there anything l can do like get those credit cards for poor credit

could this increase my chances or contacting experian

 

 

could this help my credit score as l am looking to get a new mortgage soon

 

 

because l need a bigger house.

 

 

So wondering if there is any hope for me because 3 years is a long time to wait if there are other options
