Seriously, i am flabbergasted this has not been picked up by the national news. Infact, im gonna e-mail the daily mail, mirror, guardian etc to let me know. Hopefully a story can get things moving.
People struggling to feed their families and losing their jobs, and now being stuffed by trying to apply for any sort of finance.0 -

I have spoken to all credit agencies and they have no issues with the ER.xlnc99 said:I also spoke to my council and they confirmed i am on the ER and have been registered. There are no issues on their end.

This needs to be fixed now.
I suggest everyone to complain to Equifax and their local councils.
There will be rioting commencing if this is not sorted. A mutiny will start and it wont be pretty.1 -

I guarantee you everyone checking their Equifax file will see they wont be on the ER. 90% at least would be my guess.0 -

Cannot believe you are taking this lightlyIt’s only a concern for you as based on your recent posts your applying for credit here there and everywhere.As a doctor who works in the NHS I’m more concerned and worried about coronavirus and my colleagues and patients than when my electoral roll data will be updated. Which no doubt will be in a few months at most!!Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:2 -

'Alot of people on this thread have already said it' - Have they? I haven't seen them. Unless 'A lot' is one or two? What I have seen 'A lot' of - is people telling you to take a deep breath and not worry about it.
'I guarantee you everyone checking their Equifax file will see they won't be on the ER' - and if you're wrong - what compensation will you offer? By the way - you're wrong. On my Equifax - I am on the electoral roll.
As has been mentioned lots - it'll be a blip in the grand scheme of things - and it'll all work itself out. I really can't see why you're getting SOOOOOOO worked up about it. (How did you manage to get approved for your Virgin credit card btw?)3
