Why Searches Can’t Be Removed From Your Credit Report

The Searches section of your Credit Report shows you who has accessed the information on your Credit Report within the last couple of years. This effectively acts as a log of when you’ve checked your own Report, as well as a record of lenders checking as a result of applications for credit in your name. You’re also likely to see searches relating to prospective employers, landlords, insurance companies and other identity checks.

Some people believe that as soon as a credit agreement is settled and closed, it will no longer be reported to the UK’s Credit Reference Agencies and therefore will no longer have an influence on future credit applications. However, this is a popular misconception, one that could affect your ability to get credit if not correctly understood.

Keeping Your Electoral Roll Up-To-Date After Moving House

Few things in adult life are more stressful than moving house. The planning, the packing and of course the last-minute panicking about paperwork. Even once you’re in, mountains are quickly made from molehills and before you know it, you’ve lost those tiny keys for the windows – never to be seen again.

Which Accounts Will Show On Your Credit File?

Credit account information relies on lenders to report those accounts to the UK’s Credit Reference Agencies. Not all types of account will appear on Credit Reports for this reason, so while some regular monthly payments will show up there, many others won’t.
