    It took 4 months when we moved IIRC, and my mother 5 months when she moved (a lot more recently than us)

    Hi Blackpool_saver,

    Most local authorities collate their annual canvas between mid August and November, which isn't published until December.

    Once it's published credit reference agencies will start to up date their records, but it can take a few weeks to do this. We aim to complete our updates by the start of January.

    For more information about updates take a look at our blog

    Kind regards

    Hi Blackpool_Saver,

    Sorry about the confusion, the blog on our AskJames page is for last year.

    This years Annual Canvas is being updated as we speak, we started to receive information throughout December and should be updated on your file this month.

    Hope this helps.

    Many Thanks,

    Does that happen on a particular day, or is it as and when?

    Hi Blackpool_Saver,

    It's as and when we receive the data, it shouldn't be too much longer until they are all completed.
