- Tue Feb 21, 2006 12:35 am #42277 Hi, I expect this subject has been written a few times now..
Ive been lurking here for a while reading up as many posts as possible but still confused.
I wonder if anyone could help me clear up my CRF's?

I was discharged last September and now would like to start clearing up my credit file which i know will be in a complete mess,

1. What is the first line of action? After I have received my CRF's?
2. I know most of my credit reports will show defaults can I get them marked as Settled/Satisfied ?

Also, Does anyone have a "Bare Bone" letters that I can send to my "ex" creditors to amend my credit report.

Thanks for your support
I look forward to any remarks on this.

Kind Regards

if you look back through this thread you will see the Information Commissioner's ruling on this. If you have been reading many posts you would have seen this and other comments on clearing CRFs.
Yes, the lenders should mark your defaults as settled or satisfied as to whether they will or not, aye there's the rub.
Your letter should include the IC's ruling and proof of your discharge.
Get your CRFs first and go from there.

Will get my CRF's down and will get on with trying to sort them out.

Mel, Do I need to pay for a Discharge Letter from the courts (£60)or will my letter from OR telling me of my discharge date be OK ?

Many Thanks

Gary

- Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:37 pm #44721 Does it give a date of default? If it is after the date of your BO, query it. Get the lender to mark the account settled.

You just need to get it marked as settled or satisfied then.
Also make sure your discharge date is shown on your file.

Yep, Just says "Bank" meaning its not showing as discharged. Do I notify CRA's?

Thanks Mel!


Gaz

- Tue Feb 28, 2006 5:53 pm #44952 Yep, they will need some proof.
I sent them the copy of my automatic discharge as printed on the Insolvency site. Unfortunately they are only kept on there for 3 months now. You could check to see on the London Gazette site to see if you are shown as discharged and print off a copy from there. Failing which a letter from your OR to say you are discharged or pay 60 squid to get a Certificate of Discharge from the Court or free if you are on benefits.

I have one account that showing a "S" settled but Previous History is still showing. Is this normal?

Kind Regards again Mel

- Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:16 pm #44957 Yes, I'm afraid so. They can show the previous months payment details.

- Tue Feb 28, 2006 6:20 pm #44959 OK, One last question Mel..
Im using Online Equifax is this the best one to use?

My current score is 171, getting the BANK marked a Discharged may make it go up a little.

Many Regards

- Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:51 pm #45344 Big Problem, Direct Auto Finance (yes them) They still seem to think I owe them £6K even after my car was taken back after my B. almost 8 months ago.
They are still updating my File as "6" and have been for that last 8 months! Even though the debt was part of my B.

They have been updating my CF's with what I can see is false information.

Can anyone help on this?

Thanks

- Thu Mar 02, 2006 9:04 am #45358 did they send youa final statment? it is quite possible you owe them ££ after you hand the car back - was the debt included in your B, if so then it is wrong and they need to be informed and then the CRF updated
