    I was thinking of doing 10 applications then going cold for 12 months

    don't do it mate - I assume you got your equifax sar, like mine? Mine is like ermmm, 718 pages - it came by courier in a box that holds the A4 printer paper it weighs a tonne!!!!

    Mine also has info about car insurance - this forms part of Experian DA which surprises me cos Equifax are different so why do they invest in an Experian product - hmmmmm - fishy :eek:

    LOL
