old current account not on credit reports

Just wanted something cleared up for me. I have a Bank of scotland current account that i've held for about 15 years, it does not appear to be on any of the 3 credit reports despite the fact that I have a reasonably large overdraft limit which i regularly use (but dont exceed) does this mean that anyone credit scoring me does not see this bank account and therefore does not see this overdraft facility?

P.S I am not advocating not telling anyone checking me that I have this account was just wondering as getting more and more into checking my reports and understanding how things work.

Cheers
if i had known then what i know now

    indeed it does mean that anyone looking at your credit records will not see that account
    its not unusually for long established current a/cs not to be reported to the credit agencies.
