Conflicting credit reports !

Hi all I've got a few issues with 3 defaults on my experian credit report any way I've sent letters and waiting for replys so I thought now would be a good idea to order a credit report from the other two main ones well I've ordered my equifax one just waiting for that to turn up and I've just read my call credit one which has got me confused ! The 3 defaults I have on experian are all showing as settled and satisfactory on my call credit report !! Do I now show experian a copy of this to see if it will improve my chances of them getting the defaults taken off or just leave well alone ????

  • A CRA won't take data from a competitor. They take data from the lenders.
