After Auto Discharge?

Hi

    Hi Richard, you don’t usually get confirmation of discharge with AD, so if you can print off several copies from the insolvency service site showing your discharged status, most creditors will accept this. Bear in mind your name will stay online for 3 months after your AD date and then disappear.

    Make sure you click on your surname after searching to bring up the full record.

    Then wait for 2 to 3 months and start your credit file clean up.

    You'll need to get all three credit files, click on blue links below:-

    Experian - Click here

    Equifax - Click here

    Callcredit - Click here


    They are £2 each for paper copies. Some people have used the online one's and have said the information was very poor compared to the paper copies.
