Financial Disassociation

Options
I have signed up to checkmyfile and requested a financial dissassociation. It says usually get a response within 28 days. Does anyone have any experience of this and if it is often done sooner?
I only found out by being declined my DiP - they said it was because a financial associate had defaults. These associations are all historic as I only have my own accounts etc now so I want to disassociate. 
I am under some time pressures as need to pay back help to buy, had RICS surveyor valuation already which only lasts 3 months (although i believe i can get extended by another 3 by paying another fee). My credit rating is really good so had just (stupidly) assumed DiP would go through. I'm hoping once financial disassociation takes place it will be fine but don't want to pay the further fees etc before I get a DiP.

    Don't use checkmyfile.  Request the disassociation with each of your individual files which show the association.  You need to make sure it's done swiftly and correctly.
  • They have to investigate and then update the CRA. 
    Use MSE Credit Club (Experian), ClearScore (Equifax) and Credit Karma (TransUnion) to check your files for free (rather than risking payments to Check my file) and may assist in checking the notice has been filed, rather than relying on a third party to do it

    I am in a similar position but it’s me with the bad credit and my joint account I had with him has linked us even though I’m no longer on the account (was removed several months ago) the account it’s self is still open so it still looks like we are linked on Experian but we aren’t. I’ve filled out forms but never hear back I’ve tried calling Experian but just keep getting automated machines I just want to speak to a human but it’s near on impossible!!!! I hope you hear back I’d be interested to hear

    There is no requirement to pay for this.  Anyone who has led you to believe otherwise is miss-informed.
