As an immigrant from a country where consumer debt is atypical, I'm not used to living off credit. How do I build a credit score without using a credit card etc.? I currently pay my monthly bills via direct debit and I'm on the electoral register. But with my current lifestyle, points 8 and 10 above would imply I won't take on any debt till I'm ready to take on a mortgage. Is that advisable? As it could mean I would't have a credit history at all! 😳

@angelicathornton6917 4 года назад

I don't trust the credit report companies. I applied for Shell broadband and it appears on my credit report twice, 1. as Broadband (soft search) 2. as a Mortgage buy to let ( Hard search) and my credit score has gone down from 974 to 889. Is it not common sense that Shell is an energy and broadband company not a mortgage lender? My blood is boiling right now.

@TheHumblePenny 4 года назад

Oh dear. That doesn't sound good. Shell do broadband? I'd suggest just keeping track of things through alerts and so on. The impact of that soft search should disappear soon

@angelicathornton6917 4 года назад

@@TheHumblePenny Yes Shell do broadband and I find it to be one of the cheapest. I queried about wrong entries on my report through email and both entries are no longer showing on my report. But then they replied to my email saying they can't see the Shell entries I'm querying about, dispute me sending a screenshot of my credit report with the email. They don't want to admit to their mistake. It's very frustrating. Now I'm checking my credit report every week because I'm planning on purchasing a property in a few months. Also checking the alerts has you suggested, thanks.

Hi Ken. Thanks a lot for your very informative and highlighting channel, I like to listen as I drive at work every night (#1 problem already). I do want to ask if my strategy of using credit cards for daily expenses and paying off on average before interest dates is ok. Am currently trying to get a mortgage and at the same time work torwards financial joy and freedom. Once again thanks for your channel. My credit report has improved as I did enjoy checking on loans and credit only to my own detriment.

@digital321 4 года назад

Good video, great content. A small point if you add a note to your credit file to explain a late payment it can result in being declined for small loans or credit applications. This due to the lender having to manually review the application for mortgages or large loans its unlikely result in the application been declined solely as a result of a note but the lender will still need to manually review the credit file. So I heard!

Ah interesting point. I've never had that issue. Good point to raise.

Hello , as a mature student new to the Uk , how can you build your credit score when most banks wont allow you to get a credit card even if they can hold your money against debt that you may require (i mean if you have £200 you should be able to access £200) ,this all seems complex to navigate

Hi, How do you set a password for your credit file? Would this password apply for Experian, Equifax and Transunion or do you have to set up passwords for the individual agencies?

@cathybussewitz1118 3 года назад

I just have to testify about this here and let everyone know how much better I feel right now. About a couple months ago I applied for a car loan and it was declined because my credit score was in a low 500 with some negative items including (eviction, bankruptcy and a judgment), I was broken. I approached a colleague and narrated everything to him, he referred me to John and told me to believe in him. Within 8 days John raised my credit score to 830 and erased all the negative items replacing them with beautiful tradelines. I am ever grateful to him for such a discreet service. He fix a Chexsystem report and a DUI report as well. Write him on [Jon@creditpatchup.com] and consider your job done.

@TheJVCMan 3 года назад

I try not to use credit where possible. except for my mortgage. I have had car leases and loans in the past and I've decided that if I can't pay cash, it's not worth having. Although I checked my score just out of interest and I'm on 999, not that I will use it.

@theskylifeprojectold4341 4 года назад

Hey Ken, I've been watching your channel for a few months, and I like the content you are pushing out. The first video I came across was all about clearing your debt. Personally I've lived a very materialistic life growing up, creating lots of bad debt. Only over the past few years I've learnt to change my mindset and spend my money on good future investments. The lessons I've learnt have also made me far more minimalist! I love it! Keep up the great work! Ricki@theskylifeproject

Hey Ricky, much appreciated! :) . Good to hear too about your progress. I'll check out your content too.

@theskylifeprojectold4341 4 года назад
