    What a pain in the as$

    TBH you can't do direct upgrades with alot of banks.

    I know Co-op Natwest, RBS, Barclays, and Halifax don't allow direct upgrades from their basic accounts to full accounts.

    I know Abbey do and I think HSBC do allow 'direct upgrades'.

    Got a letter from the local council saying i will be on from may, how long before credit file gets updated with this?

    It will be the middle of July.

    You could e-mail Experian with a scanned copy of the letter you received from the Council and they will add you sooner.

    Equifax won't allow thi,s they have to be told by the County Council before they will add you.

    Sometimes it can take 3 days to reach the benificarys account..........

    It is more likelt to affect your internal score, i.e less increases ect.

    Data of late payments isn't passed to the CRA unless the payment is still "LATE" after the next statement date

    so although they realised there mistake and corrected it
    and they did get the payment by the due date

    it will still be seen as a late fee ?

    hmmmmm

    No hardly any. You have to apply separately.
