Improve Your Credit
Before Applying

Get a Checkmyfile report (all 3 agencies). Register on the electoral roll. Check for errors and dispute any inaccuracies. Identify all adverse markers — dates, values, satisfied status.

Pay off any outstanding CCJs or defaults if affordable. Satisfying these markers is the single most impactful credit action available. Get the certificate of satisfaction and keep it.

Open a credit-builder card. Use it for small regular purchases (petrol, groceries). Repay the full balance every month by direct debit. Never miss a payment.

Reduce credit card balances to below 30% of the limit. Avoid applying for any new credit — each application creates a hard search. Cancel unused credit accounts.

Review your updated credit report. Speak to Darryl for a soft-search assessment. Confirm which lenders are now most suitable and what rates are achievable.
