How to improve your credit rating
First of all, find out why your credit rating is poor. You can check your credit reference file for free here.
The best way to improve your credit rating is to build a credit history over time by taking these simple steps:
- Make sure you are on the electoral roll – it only takes a few minutes to register with your local council
- Pay bills on time – this will begin to improve your credit history
- Don’t keep applying for credit – every application is logged on your file and won’t help your credit rating
- Always tell the truth when applying for credit – inconsistencies in credit applications will effect your credit score
By building a good credit history, over time you should find an improved credit score.
How can you improve credit ratings if you can’t get credit?
