We cannot be absolutely certain which credit card providers search a particular agency's files (lenders do not disclose this information), but it's known that most use Experian, so that one matters more
Cheers. I guess I have no other option bit to hang on for it to arrive. I'm hoping its's probably just stuck in the whole postal strike chaos.
Contact Equifax on 0800 7839421.
That's business services but they'll happily transfer you.

I previously got a free trial period with Experian to get a credit card report. This was some years ago. Now when I try to sign up for the free trial period it says I am a member already and need to resubscribe.
Is it impossible to get another free trial after your original one?
Anyone else experience this?
Many thanks.

Btw, once you have your paper copy, the CRAs seem happy to answer questions over the phone if you quote your reference number. So if, for instance, you wanted to check that particular items had since been updated, there's no need to order further copies of your credit reports
