Poor credit rating because old accounts not shown

My credit rating is poor and I have been refused a second credit card, once I checked with Experian and two accounts are not listed. I chased Natwest and finally got one on there but they still aren't showing my credit account. This has taken 6 months! Who do the credit agencies report to? Natwest have no idea!! Help please!

    Companies report to CRAs.
    CRAs don't report to anybody.

    When did you open the account?
    Do you live in a flat? Or have anything unusual about your address?

    You may want to repost this in the credit file forum so more people can advise.
