There is also the case of having a CCJ and not knowing about it!
How did that happen? Did someone not have an up-to-date address? If people don't know they have terrible credit then we could have a problem!
So far as I am aware this was not the case with anyone who has been involved with WER at any time. I think Gordo (OP) was just making the point that as individuals we very little control over what the credit reference agencies think they know about us nowadays (and can't easily argue against it, if we do find out)
Ah, yes, that's another risk - not having a CCJ but the banks thinking you have. Anyway, it shouldn't be an issue - most of the banks I spoke to said they don't credit check signatories. You must have been unlucky with Co-op!
