Experian Credit Expert - Question

Hi All,

I have opened up an account with Experian today and on checking the file there appear to be items missing. I have 3 credit cards and a personal loan, the latter does not appear on the file anywhere.

The loan is with Egg and is showing as 'settled' approx 2 years ago, which is when i think I re-negotiated the terms of the loan (payment break).

Shouldnt the 'new' loan still show?

Just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences.

Thanks

H

    theres 3 credit reference agencys in the UK - not every lender reports to all of them so it is possible that egg report to 1 of the other - equifax and call credit
    maybe egg have changed who they report to since the *new* loan was taken out

  • Oddly, my Egg card has never appeared on Credit Expert. It does appear on the other one though.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
