electoral roll

I recently re-registered on the electoral roll using the online application.

A nice chap at the local council told me I would go onto the electoral roll on the 1st August (I applied near the end of June)

However I have just got a copy of my credit report and it says I am still not on the electoral roll. When will it show up on my credit report?

Thanks

    Depends when the CRA updates it's own records.

    Hi OP,

    I believe the CRAs update their records once a month, so as Thrugelmir says, it depends on when the council supply their data to the CRAs.

    Electoral roll data can often take up to a couple of months from when you go on the register to when it actually shows at the credit reference agencies.

    At certain times of the year the CRAs can get even further behind, usually that is when the annual register is released, but with the new launch of individual registration I wouldn't be surprised if they quite behind at the moment as well.
