What about bog standard history ?

I am thinking of just ordinary things ..
Companies that you made regular payment to ...![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
When I contact service providers ,will they have a record of my being a previous customer ?
I will have been out of the UK 6ish years by the time we go home .

I wonder that.
I still have a UK bank and CC and they are used sporadically so I wonder if that gives me a minimal history of some sort.

Usually erased in the UK after six years of no financial activity such as a bank account or credit card.
I kept a bank account and credit card here in the UK whilst in Canada for just over six years but the weren't active and my credit history had gone when I came back.

But individual companies do keep records of customers past & present and they can use the information they already hold to decide if to give you credit/provide you with a service even if your credit file is clear.
