Didn't know you had to wait for a code for checkmyfile - I didn't. The lack of info can be a problem but if you ring checkmyfile up (they are extremely helpful) they send you a hard copy of the report with the details on it.

hi sammy no this is with annual report... it says it will come second class but if all else fails i will just print off the letters and get them sent to me :beer:0 -
For approximately 20% of applications it wont let you get an instant report (apparently due to insuffucient info but I have lived here 8 years & am on electoral role so fail to see how!!) so you have to have a code in the post. I did ring them & didnt find them particularly helpful & they wont give the code over the phone or by email. Good from a security point of view but not if you want to chek your report quickly! A total waste of almst £20 in my book! Wish I'd taken a deep breath & researched the free one (above!) first!Didn't know you had to wait for a code for checkmyfile - I didn't.

IIRC you should expect to wait 3 months before a closed account shows on your credit file.
I got all excited when settling my loan early and cancelling old cards but it depends on when the creditor updates the CRA database. Some companies are quicker than others.Starting debt @ LBM: £8436.51 (8/5/7)
Barclaycard: £5804.52 (May 07) - 6.9% LOB Now: £5315.25
Egg: £1640.99 (May 07) - 1.9% May 08 - Now: £1242.69
[strike]Barclays O/D: £991dr (May 07) - 16.9% - Now: £0.00[/strike]
Debt August 07 £6557.94
Aim: To Clear Barclays OD by Nov 2007! Realistic DFD: August 20090
