    No they do not. They search Experian and sometimes Equifax depends on the data retrieved from Experian. This is proven.

    Please post an image of all 3 CRA's (your reports - removing personal data) if you can see a search on all 3 by N Brown (JD Williams)

    What do you mean a search on internal systems, what internal systems? All companies search internally to check for customer matching profiles..... but do you mean some other kind of system or what?
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    Any idea which agency gets searched when you apply for a Play.com credit card?

    Play.com credit card is issued by MBNA so it will be Experian.

    I applied for Next today and they only searched my Equifax, not my Experian (if that helps?!)

    It seems although this is now common practice.
