Experian

Hi guys, wondering if anyone has had this happen before or any advice?

I signed up to the free month at experian to check my credit file. All of the payment details and stuff like that is correct, but for every account or credit agreement i have, it's listed twice on the report. So that means my available credit is double what it actually is.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Ash

    I'm fairly sure that although they appear twice on your file any lender looking at your file will only see one entry. I used to work there many years ago and am pretty sure I got asked it before. When I checked for the consumer I could only see it once but can't remember why you see it twice. Sorry.
