    It has scam written all over it.

    OP, if you are struggling with debts and repayments,then let us know and will help you reduce your spending. You cannot pay for a clean credit file, if only....
  • thanks, does things on your credit file stay there for six years? and is the six years started from the day you took out the loan or the date of default..thanks

    Information stays for 6 years since it was placed, this applies to most things like defaults, CCJ, BR etc. i.e. a default will come off 6 years since the default placed date.

    Running accounts will stay on there so long as the account is open.

    If any information on your report is wrong (remember there are 3 seperate ones) read page 19 onwards - http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/practical_application/credit_explained_leaflet_2005.pdf
