Eurgghh! Well I tried to get my CR from EQ (already have mine from EX, but wanted to make sure there was nothing adverse on EQ)
Anyway, when I registered on the 8th they asked me to call which I did, managed to get into an row with the foreign woman on the end of the phone who I couldn't understand and who couldn't understand my house name, she finished by saying she wanted proof of who I was because she didn't understand the answers to her questions GRRR, I told her where to go and hung up! On Friday though I swallowed my pride, rang them again...another foreigner...cheers Equifax! who told me to scan stuff across, which I have done the same day, they said my account would be accessible within 24-48 hours.....TA DA.....No account!
Does anyone know how long it will really take to be active, I only want to see it and then I will cancel it. I like Experian and it is used more than any other CRA.

I had a similar thing a few years ago, and submitted docs via their online Q&A forms.
If I remember correctly it was sorted within 48 hours I think?
If it was me then I'd give them one more working day, then start making noises again.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB
