How long does it take for your credit rating to get better?

[Mckayz]

DH has a poor credit rating from having 6 weeks between pay days when getting a new job.

Everything is due to be paid off by Jan 1st 2015 except for 1 loan that has no arrears or defaults. That loan ends March 2015.

We need to buy a new house as ours is too small and I was wondering how long it takes for the credit rating to be better?

I had a quick google but found conflicting answers. Some said 30 days, 6 months, a year etc

Does anyone know or have a rough idea?

Thanks.

I was told six years by someone at Experian.

DH was told it stays on your record for 6 years but the actual rating gets better before that. Just not how long it does take.

As I understand it, all records remain on your file for 6 years...but as time passes the score gradually gets better, provided there are no further hiccups.
