    Can't speak for Sutton but I will settle for.. 2 bacon, 3 sausage, 2 eggs, black pudding and beans.
    2 toast, tea with one sugar, used to be 2 but I'm watching my wasteline :j

    I'm not keen on too much fat/sugar either, I try and keep myself in shape. :j

    Grilled bacon, poached egg and beans would be okay for your waste line!! Lol.

    OJ and 1 piece of toast.

    No National Hunter don't hold credit information just fraud information.

    Experian nor Equifax would tell you even if you did have one, I don't think they are allowed to. You would have to contact CIFAS, it may be worth while just to make sure.

    Perhaps i'm being paranoid as I was refused an Express account and Vanquis card - all of which searched Experian. I have had lots of declines with companies searching Ex...So maybe am presuming that my Experian file has something 'dodgy' on it that I cannot see??

    On the other hand, I have just recently been successful in getting a catalogue who searched......Equi.:D

    In the interim, it still will not hurt sending out these Subject Access Requests etc.....and seeing what comes back?

    If you had CIFAS information it would be on both Experian and Equifax it would be viewable to the lender, not too yourself.

    I got declined for Vanquis, they could of tightened their criteria! I hope that's the reason :o

    It just the way I am, I'm not keen on fatty, sugary things.

    I go to the Gym so I don't want to waste the money. Especially when it's £42 per bloody month.

    I can quite believe that - and a right bunch of helpful 'so and so's..they are too.

    Speaking of Equifax, I had to query the removal of some incorrect information with them regarding Express Gifts setting up an account on my file after they had declined me an account in the first place.

    At some point in the conversation, I mentioned the other lesser known CRA CallCredit and was told by the advisor that CallCredit receive their information data 'second hand' from Equifax.

    Tips are the best part of the job :j Can be really boring at times, sitting on a motorway for hrs, passengers expecting you to know where you are going regardless :confused:
    That said, done stage carriage work and hated it, stoopping at every lamp post :mad: Some good passengers though :D
