I have never failed to pay on any credit agreements and have certainly never been made bankrupt. A former housemate who I lived with for a year and a half had terrible credit problems though, which culminated in him being declared bankrupt shortly before he left the house. I was wondering if his bankruptcy could be affecting my credit rating? I'm unsure if him being at the same address could do this. I have applied for my statutory credit report from Equifax today. Many thanks! [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
