Once six years are up and assuming defaults have gone then your record will begin to rebuild. It depends on what you have on record i.e. mortgage, bank accounts etc.

Keep checking Noddle and Clearscore to see how things are going.

It will all help. You could also try to get a credit card such as Capital One and if you use it pay off each month. A soft search is carried out so nothing shows up if it is rejected.
