When I signed up with EDF - several years ago - it was the case that they DIDN'T report your account to the CRAs. Does anyone know if this is still true? Thanks.

    I have had my energy with EDF for more than a decade, I have a normal meter, never missed a payment and nothing from them has ever appeared on any of the free CRA reports.

    EDF were always the exception in CRA reporting. From what you say it seems like they still are.

    There were a set of posts on here recently of people who suddenly had old utilities accounts appearing on their credit record - wasn't that to do with the EdF account moves, or am I misremembering?
