Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostYou wouldn't have a credit score like that, being absent from the electoral roll. Something smells there. Anyway, you don't know which company they are going to use for the credit check (some banks consistently use the same company, but many ask one of several companies) and none of the banks look at the scores you see - they have their own scoring systems based on the contents of the credit report.Comment

Originally posted by cannon999 View PostI can only go by what experian tell me. Yes that's what I was told by the broker. They also said that after contacting the bank that even though my financial score was excellent it was not perfect due to address history and they can only do 10% for someone with a perfect score.Comment

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostThat is a bit harsh though. There's lots of reasons why people move and don't register on the electoral roll. To turn down a person with an otherwise perfect credit history does sound like they're looking for reasons to decline.Comment

Originally posted by cannon999 View PostIt is very harsh but that's the reality right now. My credit history is f7cking perfect and long running. The interest rates right now are also extortionate. Best I could get was 3.15% with 15% deposit.Comment

Originally posted by anonymouse View PostI looked a few weeks ago, 2.08% fixed for 2 years with 20% deposit or 2.27%for 5 years, from CMME. That was after some time out, just need to get the renewal in Feb sorted first.Comment
