  • Hi

    Does anyone know what CRAs RCI Finance use for credit checks purposes? They're the guys that arrange car finance for Renault and Nissan.

    Thanks!

    Don't know if they use others, but they searched and reported to Equifax for me when I used them through Renault back in 2008.

    Recent searches for me:

    First Direct Current Account - Experian only
    First Direct Gold Credit Card - Equifax only

    Both applications successful despite having a default from 2006 for a mobile contract.
    Sorted out my finances...

    Welcome back!!! :)
    I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂
  • Hi
    I read on here somewhere that Barclaycard have now started searching Call credit. Can anyone confirm this?
  • I just found some info on Barclays website that says they use all 3 CRA's!
