I've just looked at Credit Karma and found a number of soft searches which I know nothing of. Whilst my car insurance is due for renewal mid-August I have not used any comparison site or even gone back to Esure yet. I have not asked for any quotes from these two companies. How does this happen? Do I have any need to worry?…

Credit file confusion
Hi I’m really confused about the statue of limitations and status barred on credit forums. I have several unresolved debts which I have buried my head in the sand with.

10 year old CCJ, being chased for the money.
My partner has recently been chased for £4000 for an old CCJ from 2011 on a credit card that she took out but her husband at the time used and didn't pay off. We had thought that after 6 years the CCJ and the debt was gone but it seems not. Nobody had been in touch with her since the CCJ was taken out as at the time she…

CCJ enforcement time
Hi Everyone, What's the time frame after a parking offence that a private company has before they can issue a CCJ. For example if you parked somewhere in January, is there a specific time frame that they have to serve the CCJ or can it be whenever they like? Just wondering, thanks!

Mortgage Application - Existing Satisfied CCJs Not Showing
Hi Everyone, First time buyers. We had an acceptance with a poor credit lender at 7.5% using a specialist broker back in May. Recently I've done a decision in principle online with a high street bank, who have done a soft credit search and said they could lend us what we need. My partner had CCJs from just under 6 years…

Job titles - how to stay consistent
Hi - I understand the rationale of keeping job titles consistent across applications but any thoughts on how to do so when many applications only have fixed drop-downs which aren't consistent across organisations. Especially important when things that might be considered close synonyms are treated differently (like PA /…

Errors are ok but doing nothing about them isn’t
Have been given two defaults by O2 which I have written proof from O2 that the accounts were satisfied with zero balance when I left. I’ve spent all week ringing a disinterested customer service centre, visited the store who said they could do nothing and written so many emails to so many teams and no one is interested.…

Credit rating affected by incorrect arrears
I had a Debenhams card and paid off the balance 3 years ago. Over the past few months I've had let's from NewDay saying I owed £4 and each month was accruing interest. Thought it was a scam till I rang them and disputed it. The agent told me she'd remove the debt and apologised for the inconvenience. I then discovered…

Default date dispute
hello all, I fell into mental health issues and financial difficulty in 2017 into 2018, following a serious health diagnosis and subsequent bereavement. Advice from Stepchange was to enter a DMP so I did this early-mid 2018. This resulted in all of my debts defaulting during 2018, which means that they are dropping off…

CCJs - different to listed credit card balance?
Hi everyone. I was just reviewing my credit report on Credit Karma and noticed a CCJ listed (not unexpected). What is confusing me is if the CCJ is the same as one of the two (defaulted) credit card balances I also have on the report, which show as different balances to the CCJ. I pay the two credit cards monthly, and…

‘Overdales’ solicitors and N1SDT form
Morning. First time poster. I’ve had some dealings with Lowell and now this has been handed over the Overdale which I believe is the same company. I’ve had a ‘claim form’ through the post but it looks fake. I know that these companies use wordings / letters and things to scare tactics. The claim form states it’s from…
