Hi,
Can anyone provide a recent update on who Natwest use for mortgage applications?
From Sept 2018 when they did mine, they searched all 3 and now that I have the mortgage, they report it to all 3 as well.I'm a Board Guide on the Credit Cards, Loans, Credit Files & Ratings boards. I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly, and I can move and merge threads there. Any views are mine and not the official line of moneysavingexpert.com0 -
