    Interesting that some utilities report and some don't.

    My gas & electric and water aren't reported anywhere (Scottish Power and South East Water)

    British Gas reports to all 3 CRAs and even though I have dual fuel, they appear as separate accounts for gas and electric, on CRA reports.

    Vodafone also reports to all 3 CRAs.

    Thames Water only reports to Equifax.
  • South East Water don't report to CRA's for me either and I don't think there's any mention of it in their T's and C's for credit reporting.

    British Gas do report the accounts separately (despite being "dual fuel") as the Gas and Electric are treated as separate accounts and they are separate direct debits for them as well

    Not been with British Gas before, not heard of separate direct debits for each fuel before

    I've only had a direct debit with Scottish Power, when I was with Southern Electric I used to pay every 3 months when I got the bill...………...by cheque :rotfl:
