FCS Flag

Hello

I've just got my Experian report and under my two 'EE' contracts, that have now been ported to another provider, I have an 'FSC Flag - saying 'PHONE DISCONNECTED'

What's an FSC flag, and does it affect my credit standing?
Thank you all for helping me make my day by saving money!

    Its come up a couple of times on forums.

    It is suggested its a interim update flag used by phone companies to effectively state that the account is being moved but is currently live (so not yet fully closed).

    I don't thinl it should be viewed as a negative, probably a neutral (like a U update). Might be worth checking with experian, or it would be interesting to hear feedback from one of the experian reps that post on here.
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
