How long to appear?

I opened a joint Nationwide flex direct current account with my wife in March and it has still not apperared on our Experian and Equifax credit reports - only Call Credit seem to have got it!

Any ideas how long this should take?

    Usually a couple of months but not all creditors report to all 3 agencies.

    Presumably the account has an overdraft? are you using it at all?

    No overdraft but they should still report the account.

    I have had previous Nationwide accounts that report to Experian and Equifax.

    I have phoned the agencies who say ask Nationwide, and Nationwide say ask the agency. Nightmare!
