I don't have a credit card so I thought I'd get one, only to be rejected, even by Aqua and they give them to anyone. I own a home, have money in the bank, no debts and money coming in; so why? I check my credit report which has a good number but the bank accounts are wrong. They only list one account which I don't have nor ever have had (according to NatWest) and don't list the 3 accounts I do have. In the US it was difficult getting the agencies to change anything on your report without a drawn out battle and surrender of your firstborn, hope it's easier here.

It reminded me of that Black Mirror episode where you had a popularity score and if it was low you were shunned by society (Nosedive).

I once failed a credit check trying to get a mobile phone contract. Own my own house. 30 grand in the current account. 50 grand available on my credit cards. People try to throw interest free credit at me. (scam as a 2% handing charge) report says I am 999 low risk etc. Yet one company somewhere does not like me. Nobody could see why I should have failed. Still got a better deal elsewhere.

Failed the OCD test and had another telling off from the daughter.


Crime :- I hung out half a dozen towels to dry rather than follow instruction and bung them in the tumble dryer. You can already guess who does and does not pay for electricity round here!


But I did not colour co-ordinate the pegs used. Apparently a peg is not a peg if two are required to hold up a bath towel. If I use a red one. I must use a red one on the other side. I can only use a blue if there is blue on the other side. FFS am I glad I failed that test.

Got a sister-in-law who is more OCD than that, the pegs have to match the colour of the washing that they are pegged on to. I know somebody else who has CDO, it is like OCD but the letters are in the correct order, just as they should be !
