    Well, I am filling in bank account details (even thats difficult, I am with Barclays who are formerly Woolwich - so how long have I been with them??)

    Approx 5 years; if it's wrong the O.R will correct it, and it's immaterial anyway.

    If it's a bank account, it'll be a debit card.

    Hahahahah, you should see me. Thought I'd grab B.T before they got busy and not had time for a shower or shave; I look like an escaped convict.:eek: :eek:

    Sorry, I misunderstood that; it'll be in credit; the O.R will check anyway, and you can explain that you've no longer got access to it.
  • no - it asks for whether it is in debit or credit. i know its a debit card, with no overdraft, but I dont know how much its in credit for.

    Did you see my other question about CCJs - do I put this in the legal proceedings bit (it suggests custody hearings etc implying that CCJs might be in another section)

    Just approximate dates and figures will be fine, it's difficult enough remembering what you did a week ago, yet alone years, and the OR understands this.
  • So I do actually get the chance to explain things that dont actually make sense? Im sure there are a few things that are not on my equifax file. For example I had a HUGE powergen bill at my old property that isnt on there - do i include that?

    If you put it's £100 in credit, as a best estimate, and then explain to the O.R that it's an account you no longer have access to. The Judge won't ask you anything about balances on accounts.


    No I wouldn't. If there's nowhere that specifically asks about CCJ's put it in Additional Information. If there's no additional information section, leave it out and make a note to advise the O.R.
