Is being fully Monzo ruining my credit score?

Ok so after seeing quite a few credit score topics recently, I decided to check on mine since becoming Full Monzo almost 2 years ago.

I have no other bank accounts or credit cards, just the usual direct debits, mortgage and a car loan.

My score was low, so I did some digging.

Turns out Virgin Media put a default on my report for an £11 debt from LAST YEAR. I had to cancel my broadband with them because I was moving to a new house in an area they didn’t cover. Instead of contacting me at my new address, emailing or telephoning, they apparently just kept sending letters to my old address :confused:

After having to escalate this to the ombudsman I won my case and the mark was removed on my file.

Here is my new score:

So there you have it :raised_hands: Regardless of if you think scores are important or not, for me, Monzo has had no impact.

I’d advise that if someone has concerns that they pay a couple of quid to see a detailed view and chase up unscrupulous companies. How they’re allowed to tarnish someones credit report so carelessly is beyond me.
