Individual Electoral Registration – changes voting registration

A question about : Individual Electoral Registration – changes voting registration

The way we register to vote in England and Wales has changed and will change in Scotland from 19th September 2014.

The change means, rather than one person registering all members of a household each individual will need to register themselves.

You need to register in order to be able to vote

If you aren’t registered, you don’t get a say on who represents you.

UK Credit Reference Agencies Unfit For Purpose and must be reformed

A question about : UK Credit Reference Agencies Unfit For Purpose and must be reformed

The motion is that UK Credit Reference Agencies Have Become Unfit For Purpose and Must Urgently Be Reformed.

I have many reasons (and evidence) to propose the motion ranging from poor access control to bad data management and recording of irrelevant and secret (coded) data.

Anyone else have strong opinions for or against?

Experian vs. Equifax

A question about : Experian vs. Equifax

In my experience more lenders use Experian than Equifax for credit searches.

To back this up (or refute it) I was wondering if anyone who has access to reports from both Equifax and Experian could send me details of who used which one (purely for searches).

Rather than posting too many details of who you hold accounts with you can send me a private message if you prefer, I'll collate the information then delete your message.

Credit searches by Aviva Central Services

A question about : Credit searches by Aviva Central Services

Hi,

This isn't specifically credit card but it seemed to fit best in this forum.

Short story, we paid off a Mint card just before Christmas that had defaulted and is basically killing my credit rating - I want to BT an MBNA card with a crazy interest rate so was just checking my rating to see what has happened. I know the default will not be removed was just being thorough and looking.
