I'm Currently Feeling:  | The electoral roll
How important is it for you to be on the electoral roll to get things like credit, loans etc?
I got a copy of my credit report and it says that im not matched to the electoral role (stupid muppets put me down as a Miss G, instead of Miss C) and i think this maybe why i havent been able to get a contract phone. Everything else on my report is good! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It is very important to be on the electoral role when applying for credit .. if you arent on the electoral role then you prob wont get credit. It is a way of proving that you live where you say and you are who you are. I would say that is why you wouldnt be able to get a contract phone. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Not 100% sure to be honest. You might be able to do it online .. or maybe try contacting your local council .. they may know. Other than that you would have to wait for the form that comes out stating who lives at your address. It gets sent every year but dont know when. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | You might try to contact the credit agency that provided you the report just for starters. |
