Natwest credit card and Experian

Hi everyone,

I'm not too sure if this post should be in here, however I couldn't decide on the correct place, so here it is.

I have a general problem with Experian and Equifax, in that, my Natwest credit card does not show up on Experian but shows up on Equifax. As my ultimate goal is to show that I am credit worthy, I would like it to be on both. Does anyone know how I go about getting this changed?

Also, I show up on the voters roll on Experian but not Equifax - weird me thinks. Do I just wait and see if it appears on the next register; I've only been on the list since June.

Thanks

    You cannot dictate to lenders which CRA's they report to.
    However you could look at the "Who uses Who" thread and apply for a card for a lender that is known to use both agencies.

    Are you sure you are using correct name, address, postcode information?

    I'm not sure when the CRAs get updated with electoral roll info, but it is possible that you missed the timeslot.
    The 3 CRAs will have different computer systems.
    There is no logical reason for expecting the same from both in a relatively short timescale.
    Of course if no info shows up longer term then that would be worrying.
