Sky/Virgin - Reporting to CAs

Just looked at my credit files again and notice that neither Sky Tv not Virgin Media appear to report back to the credit agencies

Is this right as this would help me get a few more green dots on my file?

I know there is a list on here somewhere that shows who reports to who
but for love nor money i cannot find it

    You could phone them and ask. Did you get your credit report from one of the agencies direct like Experian?

    Sky have never appeared on my credit report. Been with them for over 10 years though so I don't know if they might report for newer customers.

    BT and TalkTalk don't report either.

    I'm glad British Gas don't either.

    I feel that Virgin media may report if you fall into default as they have set up a credit acreement with you. Sky do not report because there is no credit agreement as you pay in advance for your viewing. The only exception to this would be if you took out Sky Talk or Broadband.

    I disagree......had a few defaults on the virgin account & NOTHING showing on my files (no contract with them either & NEVER signed a credit agreement)
