Your credit score is made up of previous applications you have made for financial products such as a credit card, home loan, car finance and/or personal loan. Your credit file is reviewed by lenders to determine if you can borrow the amount being requested. If there are any adverse entries on the credit file, it can influence a lender to either decline your application or add a premium to the interest rate to compensate for the perceived added risk.

NO! Creditors often imply or use misleading language. In many instances, creditors may advise that they will “update” or “improve” your credit file once you have paid. However, this does not remove the default. By allowing us to represent you, we ensure that the creditor does not use misleading language – we can ensure that once we have received consent for the removal of the default, that it will be removed from your file promptly.

A credit report is a collection of your data that informs creditors about you, your reliability and your credit history. Each report has your personal details, employment history, a list of lenders you’ve applied to, any late payments, defaults or judgments, clear-outs, crossed or linked files, bankruptcies and current or previous directorships – all this information is collated in one area and gives a score. Your credit score is used by creditors to assess your credit worthiness. Unsure what is on your credit file? We can order you a free credit report
