    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Hello,

    can someone please confirm how exactly the colour code relates to who relies on who for the agency checks?

    is the white an indication of no use and the dark blue and indication of usage - or is this vice-versa

    thanks,

    Inespo.

    Waste of time, it is about as accurate blind sniper! It needs updating so don’t take it as factual data, who are you going to try applying via?

    I paid £8.99 a few days ago to CallCredit who claimed to be better than both Experian and Equifax - according to that I was only £944 in debt.

    Then the next day I paid £11.99 to Equifax and found it was closer to 8K.

    Callcredit = rubbish.

    I assume credit card companies can CHOOSE to use either one or the other or maybe sometimes it's random?

    I say this because Barclaycard ONLY searched Equifax for me whereas all the others only searched Experian.

    Egg have recently reported good bahviour to Equifax too but had not searched/reported anything in the 2 months prior.
    Best Regards,

    8K + 11.99 + 8.99 by any chance?

    Call credit is definitely the "and finally" in the CRA pile, but I'm guessing that the level of debt wasn't actually a surprise to you?
