A tribunal court is asking me to give evidence of bank accounts I held 3 years ago, is there any way of showing what uk bank accounts were open in my name.?

    If they are unwilling to take your word for it, an affidavit (sworn statement) usually suffices. If they require proof of balances, you gave to seek copy statements.

    thanks for the quick reply.

    Is there no credit check company that shows banking history? I tried experian but that did not include banking history.

    Any accounts with an overdraft facility would very likely show on at least one of the 3 credit reference agencies. But they don't show savings accounts etc

    All my accounts that don't have overdrafts also show on my records, I'd be very surprised that your bank accounts from 3 years ago aren't listed. Have you checked all 3 CRA's?
    Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.

    ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.

    Even savings accounts? or just current accounts?
    I've never seen savings accounts on. I know basic bank accounts sometimes are but not always.

    Sorry I should have specified, I just meant my current accounts. For example both my HSBC accounts are on there, only one has an overdraft. 2 TSB Classic Plus accounts and a Nationwide FlexDirect accounts are on there, and none of them have any credit facilities (just for the 5% interest).
