@unitedutilities United Utilities reporting to credit reference agencies

[Saraih]

I have just recently checked my Equifax report to check that all is well and United Utilities is now showing the last five months status.

 

I am up to date with my water bill but this account was opened in July 2000 and I have never signed a credit agreement with them or given them my date of birth

Hi, More & More utility companies are reporting accounts ( on much the same basis as mobile phone providers) it is in my opinion not a bad thing especially if the accounts are maintained properly it can have a beneficial effect on credit profile status.

Service contracts can be reported as well as credit contracts.

trouble is they make up names and dates of birth to acess your files when they dont have the correct information.

Really can we see some proof of this please?

 

 

I CANNOT see how making up names & or dates of birth can help any company or individual to access credit reference files, supplying false data does not work.
