The time scale for items remaing on a credit report should know be reduce. Due to the current eccomomic conditions people are somtimes not responisble for occuring adverse information recorded on a credit report (ie: redundancy)
The current time scale of 12 months for a search
6 Years for any adverse information (unless paid off in 1month of judgement)
6Years for any Loan
Unlimited time for previous address history.
Propsal of the following
Searches no more than 3 months
Adverse info reduced to 3years (if settled removed after 1year)
