I am going to apply for a loan , and find that my Equifax file is much better than Experian . I have no adverse info , I just want to consolidate my exsiting debts etc. Anyone know who just uses Equifax?

    Just wondering also - when you apply for a loan would it go against you when you state its for debt consiladation? I think I read somewhere , companies are wary if you say this is what the loan is for.
    Sorry if this sounds stupid!

    Yeah, same here .. They call you to discuss and process the application and then give you a provisional decision (I got a call within a hour .. but I may have just been lucky ... )

    No, they will credit check you when they call to process the application. I would imagine they would call this morning ...

    I applied today also , have'nt had a phone call or anything! Must have been declined as I have had about five texts and calls from UCC loans , which is mad as I would not touch these. Can't understand being declined as my Equifax is also decent.
    :mad:
