Have Equifax updated Electoral roll info from annual canvass yet?

Experian have (for me at least), call credit have not. Before I waste the free equifax code just wondering if anyone who registered during the annual canvass last year has had their Equifax details for the ER updated yet?

I was wondering whether you found out actually.

I can't access my Equifax report, not for love of trying mind you so I couldn't accurately say, and I haven't checked my Experian and am waiting until around a week to check my Noddle as I know they have funny update times.

What I will say is I was accepted on a mainstream credit card instantly with a good rate/limit, I don't believe that would have been possible if the electoral roll information was updated. According to the thread that says who each provider checks, Equifax is one of the ones they run a credit search through.

Hopefully someone can give a better indicator who has seen their report, but I can't see how I could have got a mainstream card from a lender that uses Equifax if it hadn't have updated.

Brilliant, thanks Sandy. Will wait and see if a couple of others have too then I'll risk looking.
