Credit Scoring
Credit scoring is all about assessing the risks of giving you credit. The sort
of factors that are looked at include, what bank accounts you have and how many
of them, late payment history and outstanding debts. Before offering you loans,
lenders will check your credit score at a credit reference agency which will hold
details on you such as electoral role information, logs of previous loan application
credit checks, existing and past customer credit agreements from lenders and CCJs.
If you want to look at ways of maintaining good credit ratings and avoid being
seen as a bad credit applicant by UK loans providers think about some of the following:
It is important to be on the electoral role so if you move, get yourself registered
in your new location
- Do not apply for credit unless you really are serious about a loan as each
loan application can count against you
- Married couples are seen as a lesser risk than singles where loans are concerned
- Pay your debts, including credit cards on time

credit scoring agency with this information to resend correct information

aware

and pass copies to the credit agencies

which you can copy to the credit rating agency.
