We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    all they could see from your credit report is the public available information, such as defaults and CCJ and bankruptcies, so if you failed and did not have any of those, then it could e as simple as you are not on the electrol register or you share some accounts with someone else and it's their report that has failed you.

    Only CCJs and Bankrupcies from the above list are public information.

    Your post is confusing.

    To clarify for the OP.

    Linked accouns
    Electoral role (if you choose to be hidden)
    & Defaults
    - are not public information. The agent cannot see these

    You are confusing Data Protection with Child Protection and Anti-Terrorism and Money Laundering and Health and Safety Compliance.

    Which agency do you work for by the way?
