Any Advice on Which Lender

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can help? I have checked all three of my credit reports and found one default on CallCredit only.

Experian and Equifax don't show this account and show a good history otherwise.

*All accounts are up-to-date and have the correct addresses and information.

I understand that certain companies report to different agencies..
But I am getting a Mortgage in the up coming months and looking around high street lenders, but I'm concerned that they use all three for checking and my CallCredit will be my downfall.

Any advice if anyone knows what agencies some high street banks use as of 2018 please?
Many thanks
Si

    Quite sensitive information that you are asking for.

    Why not just contract a broker to do the work for you? They should know which lenders would be appropriate for you and your circumstances.

    with a default showing, it makes sense to use a broker rather than a bank.
