Credit Files all clean

:D I checked them and had to phone one creditor yesterday-checked today and every single entry is correct :D

A lot less painful than I imagined.

Thanks to fermi for the excellent sticky re clean up and to all who have advised on this :D

    wow!! well done kerrypn.
    and thanks - your post prompted me to check mine again and I found a few that need a bit of a shove in the right direction so will hopefully have mine sorted soon. :)

    I have been very lucky-I didnt even have to contact Halifax, they just did it!

    The other ones-persistance pays off! Thanks again :)

    I'm just about to start the process and got the template letter ready, so reassuring that not everything is painful!

    Its not been without its laughs-I am amazed how little some companies actually know about BR, or rather claim to know.
    I had one company quote this little gem "we are just following the Information Commisioner's guidelines and we are allowed to pursue this debt" Fermi's letter did the trick though :)

    Good luck to both-as a word of reassurance the easiest by far I dealt with was the dreaded DCA-and I have to say that once I told them what I expected them to do, they did it, to the note very promptly and without argument :eek: They do have hearts after all :rotfl:

    Best of luck, hope your clean ups go well, hope to hear of your success soon :)
