Bank accounts not showing

Hi Guys,

I have two standard current accounts (Halifax and Lloyds) that aren't showing on my credit file. (MSE Credit Club and Noddle)

Can anyone think why?


Cheers

  • Because they don't report those accounts to those CRAs.

    They may report them to Equifax or not at all.
  • Thanks ZX81, can't get onto Equifax so I guess I'll never know.

  • You should be able to access your equifax report from clearscore.

    How old are the accounts. Older contract terms didn't give the bank permission to share your data.
  • They were both opened a few years ago.

    I can't access my Equifax report through clearscore, for some reason I fail the identity check and I can't contact them to resolve it.

    What's the worry about them not showing? Have you any variations of your address, e.g. Flat 2 The Street and 2 The Street. If they is a slight variation on how your bank address you and what shows on the CRA's then contact the CRA's to inform them.
  • I'm not particularly bothered about them not showing, but I'm trying to improve my credit report so I thought that it may help if they did.

    There's no difference in the addresses.

    Ignore the score, its fiction made up by the reference agency which lenders don't use. If you don't believe me have a look through this and the loans board where there are plenty of people with high or even maximum scores denied loans.

    I know, that's why I didn't say "score".

    I had the same a couple of years ago. I went out of my way not to talk about my credit score but I was still told to ignore my score.

    I sometimes wonder if people actually read posts before responding.
