A new report from the comparison website confused.com shows men called Brian have the best credit profiles in the UK, but unlucky Daniel is said to have the worst.
Women called Helen have the best credit records among females, while if you are a Lisa then things may be looking bad.
Your credit profile is a record of your history as it has been reported to the credit reporting agencies by lenders who have extended credit to you and obtaining a good or a bad score can have implications on the likelihood of acceptance for credit cards and also loans and mortgages so it pays to keep it in check.
Of course your name is not actually a rating factor when looking at credit, so if you’re called Brian you won’t automatically have an excellent profile and as far as I’m aware no one has ever been refused a mortgage for being called Lisa.
No mention of Seymour in the report but then I like to keep my affairs underground…
