Credit Limit Increase and Payment History

Posts: 10 Forumite
Hi all,
I use Noddle for my credit history details but since some of my debt has been sold by the original creditors (MBNA and Barclaycard) I cannot see the history of when credit limits were increased and my payment history.
Am I able to get this information from the orignal creditors? Or is there anywhere else this will be available?
Many thanks in advance.

You can request old statements at any time, however now the debt is sold on, its just a balance owing, nothing more.
The new owner will contact the original creditors for the information should you request it.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.

Thank you.
Ideally I want details of when they increased my credit limit themselves and if I was making minimum payments at the time - trying to see if they were irresponsible in doing so based on payment history at the time.
Should I go to PRA for this now they have the debt, or the original lender?0 -
Are you trying to say because the increased the limits it made you spend more whilst paying minimum payment.

I understand that. I'm simply suggesting they haven't acted responsibly by putting up credit limits unprompted when they can see I have been at the limit and only making minimum payments. If there is a bad history there, they shouldn't raise the limit. I'm interested to find out if that was actually the case or not.
I'm not suggesting I'm not culpable for one second.0
