    Is it better to use my Lloyds account for Matched Betting rather than my HSBC account (as I hold my main account with first direct).

    I don't want first direct getting funny with me when I apply for credit. Will they even see the gambling transactions with HSBC?

    defaults, ccjs may be dropping of peoples credit files sooner than anticipated.
    New legistlation drawn up will be enforced by end feb 2011 and is set to begin implementation from the end april 2010.
    This new legislation is a european binding agreement where all credit history is shared and as a consiquence all data can only be held by the credit refrence agencies for upto 3 years.

    What about CCJs and bankrupties....these are public data so are they for 3 years also? Or is this covers the credit agreement data held by CRA's?
