Query regarding Equifax Credit Report

in Credit cards
I have just received an email saying there have been updates/changes to my credit file.

One of the changes under 'New Credit Agreement' :

New Information 53180018 Credit Card XX1052

But the section 'Company Name' is 53180018 which does not really help.

Does anyone know how to find out the company?

I've not applied for a credit card for months and I've checked my existing card numbers but they don't match up.

Chris.

    Sounds like Vanquis to me, I will double check, brb.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
