Checking past credit report

Does anyone know if you can get hold of past credit reports, even though I was not a member of the CRA until last month?

    Credit reference agencies hold reports on anyone who has ever had a bank account, credit, applied for credit, utilities, car insurance etc. You don't have to be a member.

    Your credit file can only legally contain the contents of the last 6 years due to Statute of Limitations laws but you will see the contents of the last 6 years when looking at your credit record on Noddle, Clearscore or whoever.

    Thanks, I am trying to find out if a default was applied to my credit report by the OC. They deleted my account before Lowell was assigned the debt, but they recorded a default.
  • Just check all three files to see what is there.
