    Hi all, from your experience do HSBC credit cards report to all the CRAs? i'm a bit miffed because today I found my Lloyds current account and o2 phone are not reporting to the CRAs. I am hoping the HSBC credit card will.

    also, how often do lenders update on your payment performance. I thought it was once a month?
    Well they update when they can remember, I waited over 3 month for Capital One to update my files, so don't bank on the Lender doing an update on time every month, HSBC searched Call Credit when I applied but they still knocked me back even though Call Credit has the least searches. :confused:
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Thanks for replying., I did not realize that HSBC used Call Credit. Learn something new every day.

    The good news is that I've made about 15 applications for credit this past few months for credit products thru Experian but only 4 of them are actually recorded on Experian so it looks to lenders as if I've only applied for 2 mobile phones, one credit card and one internet provider.:D

    can other lenders see those tracers? does that stop you getting credit?
    Hey Sutton
    Somebody else already answered this i think, but i didnt know this info. It didnt stop Flybe from giving me a card. You know the more i think about this Flybe must be really relaxed when it comes to credit files, they must base their criteria on earning,employment status etc.
