    Click on *Credit Rating* in the blue box at the top of this board.

    Halfway down the page, you'll find a purple banner with "See a full list of which Credit Reference Agencies each provider uses"
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.

    I can give you a bit of an update, but not too much -

    Barclays seem to use only Equifax (as ast two months ago)
    02 and Vodafone for consumers use Equifax (as at last month)
    NatWest used Experian and Equifax (as at the start of the year)

    CallCredit still seem "tiny".

    I cant see, on there site, how to get a statutory credit report however. Anybody got any bright ideas?
    Save a life. Learn emergency first aid.
    Who knows what might happen tomorrow or who may need help.
    Contact your local college or first aid provider to enquire about free courses in your area.


    Already a first aider? Have you updated your first aid to the new 2005 guidelines? Most providers should now be training the new (and more effective) CPR protocols, see if they are offering refresher courses near you.
  • I contacted with Intelligent Finance and Sainsbury bank for credit card and i come to know that they are using just experian rather then equifax so i think the chart regarding " who use who " need to be updated ,

    Thanks
