Q<br />
I<br />
left debt review a few weeks ago and recently went to apply<br />
for credit and was turned down because the debt review is still<br />
showing on the credit report. What can I do?<br />
A<br />
If the bank is saying they are seeing a debt review status on your credit<br />
bureau report once you have left debt review then you should do 3 things:<br />
1. Talk to your old Debt Counsellor and ask them to chase the NCR to change<br />
your status on the NCR’s online debt help system.<br />
2. Talk to the National Credit Regulator who update the credit bureaus on<br />
consumers debt review status (when they start and finish debt review) to<br />
change your status on the debt help system (call 0860 NCR NCR)<br />
3. You can submit a query/complaint at each of the big credit bureaus asking<br />
them to remove any such status. Each bureau has an online form you can<br />
get from their website. Send along the form your Debt Counsellor gave you<br />
when you left (or finished) debt review.
