    I have a question about experian credit expert which has probably been asked before (probably by me :D) but I just cannot understand why the summary box before you see your report says I have more credit searches than I do. I have gone through the detailed list and I can see all the ones I have applied for. Do NON credit searches show up in that summary too?

    its probably including ure personal MEMBERSHIP ones which lenders wouldnt see anyway

    i cant say if this will happen to everyone, but i've never missed a payment with them and they've always given me limit increases, the only one its not happened on is the silver mastercard but i've only used it once!, to be honest i only applied because they pre approved me and i was just about to become self employed!

    thats great jo-bo thing about this thread is were all kinda sub prime, the odd default an all that jazz..........

    looking at ure credit cards i mean ure in a TOTALLY different credit league than the majority of us ure kinda A1 MAINSTREAM so ure advice whilst appreciated none of us would probably follow...........

    i mean lets look at the halifax limit for example emmmmmmmm a £17,000, i wonder if ill get that in this lifetime or the next........... lol

    I'm jealous. Everyone is being accepted for something. I may apply for a random product that I know I'd be accepted for so I can join in the celebrations. :rotfl:
