Credit check by 3 - Northampton Communications

Not sure if this is in the right forum but would a new account and credit check by the mobile company 3 show up as Northampton Communications on my Experian file?
I'd call Experian but they don't open until 9am.
Thanks

It would show up as Hutchinson 3G UK LTD
The shop however may have their own in house scoring system which has been authorised for use by Three.Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

Thanks. I think a call to Experian is in order. The alert only says Company name "Northampton" and in type of business "Communications"."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Yep that's definitely not Three.
BTW, if you call them, they'll just tell you to use the help centre to raise a notice of correction

Just called Experian. It was o2 who I switched my broadband to back in August last year. The alert popped up last night.
Why aren't they called o2? Talk about confusing. It too the woman on the phoe some digging to find out who they are."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
O2 don't credit search in conjunction with ADSL Broadband orders.
They do for the Landline, but that's an Equifax check not Experian.

I did take their landline too and the dates were right."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0

Credit Expert is Experian.
If the dates tie in and there isn't an O2 search on your Equifax file for that date, then fine.
If however you do decide to obtain your Equifax report and see an O2 search on there for the correct date on which you took out O2 landline, then I'd still be raising questions about the search on Experian.
How are you finding O2 by the way?Cashback Earned ¦ Nectar Points £68 ¦ Natoinwide Select £62 ¦ Aqua Reward £100 ¦ Amex Platinum £48

No problems at all with o2.
Bit perplexed about Northampton Communications though...
I have a Protect My ID account but have nothing like this with Equifax. It's confusing that there are more than one agency that does this making you have to check them all.
If Experian have given me the wrong information, do I have any comeback?"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
Oh and I never led Experian. It was them who said Northampton were o2."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
