  • Credit is bad. If scores run from 0 - 100, I would say a safe bet is a score of 0. Deposit is not from saving.

    Should I talk to Jeez?

    I'm sure debt could be taken care of by next year, but with fucking prices going up 24% a year, it's the equivalent of throwing away around 10k of 40k deposit (and, obviously, paying 25% more). The entire thing is mental.

    I'm just going to buy a fuck load of blow.

  • How do you know your credit score is bad?

    Debt does not necessarily equate to a bad credit score.

    As a point of note - scores / ratings are also entirely arbitrary and proprietary to the lender. It's unlikely that you will be told what the criteria are for being loaned to, although some lenders may discuss details with you when you apply for more debt.

  • A lifetime of being a student which I am only now just emerging from has left me with a credit trail that would make a post-crash banker blush.
