in Credit cards
Hi there, there are three credit card applications i can't even remember doing on experian.
One was a santander credit card and amount says £150?
Entry Number: P4
Name: xxxxxxx
Address: xxxxxxxxxxx
Date of birth: xxxxx
Searched on: xxxxxxx
Time at address: xxxxxxxx
Amount: £150
Searched By: SANTANDER CARDS UK
Application Type: Credit Card
Also two searches for halifax, i can remember applying for a barclays card, but i really can't remembering aplying for halifax card, and if i did, i certainty didn't make two applications online.
Name: xxxxxxxxxx
Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Date of birth: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Searched on: 03/01/2012
Time at address: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Searched By: HALIFAX PLC
Application Type: Credit Card
Entry Number: P10
Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Date of birth: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Searched on: 03/01/2012
Searched By: HALIFAX PLC

Shall i dispute this? I also don't want my credit file messed up, because if i didn't do it i'm sure markers would be put on my account and reduce my chances of obtaining any credit in the future.

Santander issue several other brand card, what others did you apply for?Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Applied for so many you can't keep track?
1) Santander back many other cards - did you apply for an Asda card?
2) Some searches leave a duplicate. I guess you could call to get one removed.0 -

Don't you have multiple user names, some of which have jobs and others that don't?
Just saying.
Posts 17,19 and 20 are rather telling.

Same here ! Although this was through Aqua who gave me a card with an £800 limit, they put down 2 searches on my file. perhaps ones for general credit and the other is just a fraud search or something ?0 -

The same thing happened to me and I had the duplicate searches removed they are full searches not fraud or I.D etc etc.0
