How to check - I am on Electrol Roll or not?

Options
Hi All, In the month of oct'2009. I have submitted my application to my council. I want to apply for Credit Card. I am not sure whether I am on Electrol Roll or not. Can any body tell me is there any way online, I can check it.

Thanks,
John

    experian or equifax BUT it takes a few months to appear PLUS most lenders like you to on the roll at your current address for 3 years or more. Credit scoring goes on other things to though, if you are traceable through previous address it's normally ok only just appearing on the roll at your current addy.

    Ring your local council to double check your application has gone through OK

    Hi, if you have been on the electoral roll long enough to show, try www.192.com .I think you get one free search on the website.

    Hi, yes it is a chargeable site but you get one free search. If it does'nt show up on that search it probably won't show up on credit agency searches. If you have used the site in the past try clearing your browsing history/cookies and try again.Only problem is that if you have common name you may not be the top result.
