Contract offer pulled at last minute - no explanation

[gingerbeard]

My data access request is around 15 days old, no word from the agent or the firm. It does seem odd to me that they would take this stance, surely me pursuing them for a breach of the data protection act is more hassle than it is worth? Anyway I will let you know if i get anywhere with it.

thanks for asking, in word no, if i've no idea if i have failed credit check or not why would i check my credit history?

Because something in your credit history might tell you why you failed possibly? Maybe the got you down for some defaults you are not aware of or something. For 2 quid you should be doing this time to time anyway.

Yes, definitely grab a copy of your credit report if you have not done so already. That is the most likely source of the problem...

ok ta, any recommended places i can get my credit report? The websites i've found look a bit dodgy.

Maybe this is where the problem lies

Credit Check, Credit Score and Free Credit Report from Experian UK

Equifax - Free Credit Report, Credit Check and Identity Protection Services

Probably worth doing both as they are different organisations.
