    So Experian and Equifax show your CIFAS and everything else then.

    What's pointless about the rest then?

    Yes mate, it showed across the board. Dunno about CallCredit cos they haven't sent SAR yet but they are useless anyway so aint worries about them!

    Experian DA is now hunters/experian
    Synectics only show stuff if you've used mail order and/or employment stuff
    Cifas - same info is on the CRA SAR's
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    Thanks.

    lol well pointless doing what I done and spending a tenner to get a letter saying that they hold no data and are unlikely to in the future because they are no longer fraud prevention agencies! Waste of time mate.

    In a nutshell, experian is the best to get - they have everything including employment fraud, gone away details, cifas, catalogue fraud, trace fraud the lot!

    Equifax is a little less informative than Experian but they dont link with hunters like Experian (i.e. they don't own hunters)

    Hunters - owned by experian, completes the picture by sending you the details of all applications made such as:

    Lender: Barclaycard
    Type of Account: Credit Card
    Application method: Internet

    then the details I used such as:

    date of application
    name used
    dob used
    address used
    time at employment declared

    etc etc

    then next to it it shows the true figure and this shows any lies by flagging it FRAUD WARNING none-the-less

    Therefore only SAR the 3 cra's and N Hunter and you'll see what they all know about you.

    Hope this helps mate!

    P.S - hunter does not show any account history or performance data - purely fraud and application irregularities are shown on this SAR.....

    Cheers N-I-D / Sutton
    So just because ive been searched - other lenders who sneek around like MBNA/Virign wont know what them searches are. If i request a CL increase i'm searched if i apply same day for NEW CC i'm searched.

    So if you have no searches in 6 months is that good for me or are searches only a small part of the credit scoring system??

    Sutton asda have a credit card call center up in newcastle and i'm allways chatting about the toon.
    I even got an extra 3 months on a repeat BT coz I done his head in. Should off been 6 months but got
    new customer rate of 9 months good eh:)

    I think you'll be fine if you do this, so long as you haven't had like 20 searches in last 6mths. If you get 5 a day it isn't bad! maybe you do all finances at a certain point in the year, like bonus day (assume you're a banker) - then you clear all credit and close accounts and apply for 5 more.... see how it can be a legit reason?

    Yes, its very good. It shows lenders you aren't desperate for credit and also shows stability..... if you've no searches in last 6 month and your credit is generally good then you should get accepted a lot in my opinion.... obviosuly depends on work/commitments etc but you know what I mean....

    That is good but Asda also run from Leeds (GE Money) so be careful, they hate Geordies from the days you took their players etc - lol - pathetic leeds utd!!!
