You probably wouldn't have to even do that, the next time you apply for a CC just tell them your name is Lord so and so.

You'd always get the best tables in restaurants!

No, it is impossible to 'buy' a title. Anyone can change their name via deed poll, to whatever they want, it doesn't mean they become a 'real' Lord or Duke. Also the sale of land to become a titled person is another scam.
The only way to really become a Lord or Lady is to be gazetted by HM the Queen.

I know him. He works in a bar in Cinncinatti. He bought the title off someone who used to work there. :) :D
