 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'.0

 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.0

 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 ?
