Credit file after marriage

Hi, I have just got my credit file to go check after going bankrupt in 2008.
I got married last year and used these details, I went BR in maiden name. My accounts are all showing & the settled debts & 2 for lloyds & bt are still showing as default dated in 2009, so I'm assuming these need chasing up.

Now I have looked at the rest of my file & there are no CCj's, I have 2 before BR and my BR isn't showing either, neither is my maiden name mentioned on my file?

Any advice, or details of who I need to speak to about this? It is equifax I have, not got the other yet

Do I need to order a file in my maiden name to, surely they should be linked together as they are the same person?

Thanks

  • It would seem as you have suggested that they have not linked you, which to be fair unless you have applied for something and given your maiden name then no link will have being created, there is an option when you apply for all your credit reports to add your maiden name, as such if you had given them those details then a link would be established and you would see the adverse.

    I would send a query to equifax and get them to link your records using your maiden name.
