How often does my credit report get updated?

Your credit report is usually updated on a monthly basis by credit reference agencies in the UK. However, the exact frequency of updates can vary depending on the credit reference agency and the information provided by data providers such as lenders and financial institutions. These updates include the addition of new account information, changes in credit limits, payment history, and any reported defaults or delinquencies. It's important to note that not all lenders report to all credit reference agencies, so it's wise to check your credit report from all the main agencies periodically to ensure comprehensive and accurate information. Additionally, you can request a copy of your credit report, free of charge, from each credit reference agency annually to stay up to date on your credit status.
