    This might sound weired, but HSBC never checked my credit report from either of Experian, Equifax and Callcredit. But they do say there going to check the credit when i apply for credit card/overdraft limit increase. I don't know how they check it, there was never any search made by HSBC in my report.
    01. Marriott Rewards VISA (£2700 @ 17.9%)

    Thanks mate
  • Just had a look at my credit report from Equifax and Experien. Both are virtually the same apart from Experien has a record of a loan I had from Hitachi Finance which ended this year. No mention of this on Equifax.

    The online Experien report shows searches by the following:

    - MBNA Europe Bank (Sony Card application)
    - Nationwide (Current Account & Credit Card)
    - Morgan Stanley (Refused - Didn't meet financial criteria)
    - 2 searches for car insurance (AGP "Admiral, Bell, Diamond, Elephant" & Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance).

    My credit score is 824 and Experien rate that as Fair!! I would have thought that it should have at least been in the category of Good.

    Stuart,
