The truth behind your credit rating
Article Abstract:
Credit reference agencies have more than 40 million files with information on UK consumers. These agencies have to provide copies of their files to the people concerned on request after a fee has been paid. Information on other members of the same household may affect credit ratings, though bad debts of a previous occupant of an address should not be taken into account. Consumers can ask for a notice of disassociation if their file mentions a family member's debts. This notice states that they have nothing to do with the financial affairs of the family member.

Secure Trust
Article Abstract:
Secure Trust Banking has a record of earnings growth which has not been broken for two decades. The company is geared to households rather than businesses and around 85% of profits are accounted for by the household cash management business in Bradford, Manchester and the Midlands region of England. The high cost of starting up can hinder expansion, though existing areas can be extended. The company's profits growth may be moderate in 1999 as a result of investment, which could help over the longer term.
