Credit History
Hi all,
Reading an earlier post about credit checks and the need for 100 points (?) in certain cases, I was wondering if it is worth getting a copy of my Experian credit report to bring with me? Is this worth anything over there in terms of assisting in getting finance, phones etc etc...
Having moved from Zimbabwe to the UK 10 years ago I vividly remember the utter "joy" at trying to get finance not having 3 years history in the country and I would be keen to bring with me anything that may help ease this process for a second time.
I appreciate any views anyone may have on this or any suggestions on alternative documentation to get/bring with us.....
Thanks
