Encouraging people to check their own data from time to time is an important part of this

Will this be free, or will Experian charge to let tenants check the accuracy of the data?

They charge of course.

The price will be minimal if you are prepared to fill out the appropriate forms in triplicate and send via carrier pigeon on the third tuesday of a blue moon, then receive the data in morse code.

If you want to do something as strange as log on to the internet to check that will be 8.95 please. And we'll charge you again next month in case you forget to cancel 'membership'

Hi there

Found this story and forum doing some urgent googling - hope you can help! I am on a joint tenancy agreement and as described above one of my housemates has been lying about paying his rent - is now 5 months in default and we have been sent notification of a Section 8 eviction attempt. He has until Fri to find the money but I don't think he will be able to.

I am trying to understand my options. The most important thing for me is to not end up with a CCJ - I was hoping to buy my first house next year and obviously that will impact my ability to get a mortgage (and its cost, if I do fine one). Any suggestions very welcome!

Thank you

Paul

You're probably better off starting a new thread, rather than adding it onto this old one - you'll get a better response that way
