Which CRA do Virgin Money use for full mortgage application?

in Mortgages & endowments
I got an agreement in principle from them but before I fully apply I wanted to check which CRA's they use.  Experian hold correct information for me but there is an error on my Equifax and transunion reports that I am trying to sort out with them.  I don't want to apply in full for the mortgage if they don't use Experian only.

    They did a hard search for my AIP with Experian. If that helps

    Do lenders check other CRA's as well?
