    Barclaycard for searches, although they report account history to all 3 agencies
    :rolleyes: It’s hard enough remembering my opinions - without remembering my reasons for them :rolleyes:

    I got a Barclaycard recently and they searched Experian & Equifax.

    I checked my Equifax file for the first time last week and there was only one search made on it in last year by Tesco and the reason for the search it said was moneylaundering???? :eek:


    Why would they do a search for that? it was around the same time I opened their credit card but i'd have thought it would say credit search like it does on Experian? :confused:

    The egg card I got in January wasn't recorded though.

    Me too! I got accepted, even though I had three other searches on Experian.
