financial association on credit file?

sevenpounds03

hi there I wondered if there was an expiry for financial associations? I cant seem to find too much info on it. I have been divorced for a few years now but he still shows up as financially associated on my experian and equifax files.
There is a joing account from 11/09/2005
and a credit check from sainsburys from the month before.
Any advice? x

Get in touch with experian and explain you are no longer tied with that person and have not been for a few years - this will only work if you have no ties what so ever with your ex.

It worked for me when i requested it a couple of months ago.:)

forgot to say if your joint account is closed then they will be able to sort it for you.

thanks for your reply dixy chick.
I dont know whats happened with the joint account to be honest.

It went to collections years ago and havent heard anything since.
I have no financial ties with him at all and go by my maiden name, have done for 6 years.
