afternoon tea & quick question

cattie1

Would anyone like to join me for afternoon tea and a discussion on "garlik" "experian" and "annualcreditreport"?
I recently checked my report on all 3 experian gave me a rubbish report with nearly everything liste but garlik and annual gave me an ok report and they had stuff listed that experian didn't! (one was for vodafone saying I have defaulted but they are satisfied?!-I paid off vodafone in july last year!)
Could I also ask if anyone knows how I can get on the electoral role?
each company said I am not listed but I sent away my letter last year and was told I would be put on dec 06 (I moved house oct 05) but I am still not on! why??!!
thankyou.:coffee:

I think you can have a look at www.192.com/search/people.cfm for electoral role checking.

As for the others I don't know a great deal, but I'll join u for a coffee if thats ok ?

Hiya

I would contact your local council and speak to someone in 'electoral register' and ask them or check out their website.

With regards to the credit report agencies, I personally would chose to believe experian or equifax over the others, only because they painted a truer picture of my credit status. Garlik was years out of date and was no help to me at all.

Got any carrot cake?!

hello, i'll put the kettle on,
i dont know much about credit reports, sorry,
surely if you are paying council tax you should be added to the electoral roll,
have you tried going to the council offices in person?

you need to speak to the local council about getting on the electoral roll - they keep it cattie

Id love to stop & chat but my mood is horrendous right now due to stress from house selling.

Just checked out the website for Crawley and this is what it said:

How can I check if I am on the Electoral Register?
You can check that your name is on the current Electoral Register by calling into the Town Hall, or to Crawley Library or Broadfield Library, or by telephoning us on 01293 438346. If you discover that your name is not on the Register, you can complete a form (see Related Documents) to be added to the Register. To qualify to be added to the Register, you must be:

a British, Commonwealth or Irish citizen; and
aged 18 or over.
If you are a citizen of another member state of the European Union, you can still vote in some elections and you may apply on a separate form which we will supply if you call us on the telephone number above.


I know the info is about Crawley, but would assume that it is the same or similar for every town...

oh dear! good luck with the house selling!
everyone who asked yes I have been into local council and they said I would be on dec 06 but obviously not! but my local council are possibly the pantiest!
(and I do pay my council tax!)
