I recently checked my credit file with Experian and there's an entry on it from Feb 06. That's 8 years and 8months old. The info on there is in the Alias section. I changed my surname 20 odd years ago. It's not "bad" information, so it's not impacting me adversely. However, I thought there was a limitation on how long credit agencies could hold data on you. I contacted Experian. Their response was: "Financial associations remain on your report indefinitely." Is this right? It doesn't seem right to me... Thanks
