In the current financial climate an increasing number of consumers are finding themselves being turned down for finance, such as loans, credit cards, and mortgages, and at this time year, when many people are looking for ways to fund Christmas, the level of applications is higher than normal.

However, with the increase in the level of applications that are being turned down consumers are now being advised with regards to what action they should take once rejected for credit. Many tend to make another application to a different lender immediately but this is the wrong this to do.

Consumers that are turned down for finance are advised to make sure that they wait at least three months before they make another application for finances, as each rejection can result in a black mark against their credit, which can in turn make it harder to get finance in the future.

Prior to making any applications for finance consumers are also advised to check their credit report, as this will show them what their credit rating is like and will give then an indication of whether they are likely to be refused finance before making the application.
