    Just had a look at my Callcredit report.

    The only searches on my Call credit file are from HSBC . What I don't understand is they do two searches on one day, one search being an administration review.:mad: I have 6 searches on there, and they are all HSBC, from way back when:mad:

    My HSBC loan hasn't been updated on there either for two months. So clearly HSBC is not updating the CRAs when I make my payments each month. Yet I am sure if I were to default it would be on there. I noticed on there, and on Equifax, it shows when I go into my overdraft on my current account:mad: Now that, surprisingly enough is kept up to date on the report.

    Noone else seems to search Callcredit at all.

    the offshore banks give info to hmrc of anyone who lives in uk and they have to give the info by law

    I understand BUT does it show on a general credit search like normal bank accounts?

    I have a HSBC overdraft and credit card and they update my Experian and Equifax every month. My overdraft has always shown on my credit file because I have a student/graduate account.

    I would not worry about CallCredit because Experian and Equifax are the main ones that people look at and I never check CallCredit.

    Whats a administration review search ?

    The strange thing is my overdraft is updated, but my personal loan isn't. The balance for my loan is two months out of date.

    I have no idea what an administration review search is, I was hoping you would know.

    It seems that HSBC only leave searches on Callcredit. No evidence of them on Experian or Equifax.

    I am not sure but I think that a administration review search may have something to do with your loan.

    Does Callcredit have questions and answers section that you can look up adminstration search ?

    It has a FAQ page, but nothing with those terms under it. The other thing I can't understand, is why when HSBC are doing a search, they do two on the same day????:mad: Anyway, as you say, no other lender seems to go on there.

    Are they unrecorded searches if they are I would not worry because only you can see them not lenders.

    No, they are recorded searches:mad:

    The other thing that is puzzling me is when I applied to JD Williams, I had also applied to Next. Both of them have not made any searches on either Experian or Equifax. So, it was straight decline without a credit search.

    I guess one way of looking at it, is I haven't wasted those two searches.

    Maybe contact CallCredit and ask them to explain the searches.
