In this, our latest video post, I explain how company credit reports do not change once they’ve been purchased and how you can set up a company tracker so that you’re notified when changes occur to a company.

Let us know if you think something is not right in your company credit report
If you are the director of a limited company, it’s a good idea to buy a company credit report on your company to get an idea of how other people are seeing you.
Whilst we are wholly confident that the information in our reports are correct, if you do spot something that you think is incorrect, it’s important that you let us know what’s wrong. There’s probably a simple explanation.
For example, the most common reason for directors thinking that a report is incorrect is that they haven’t notified Companies House of a change in the company. Once Companies House are notified, new reports with updated information are then available.

Once purchased, Company Credit Reports are static.
In a word; no. Company credit reports do not change. The reports available on Company Searches Made Simple are correct and up-to-date up to the point that they’re purchased – they are then static.
For example, if you bought a standard credit or fully comprehensive company report now, and a director of that company resigned tomorrow, the report would still state that the director is a current director. However, if you were to buy another report tomorrow, the new report would be updated.
This is the exact reason why we give our company credit reports a one year shelf life (they are then removed from your account), otherwise your account would eventually include reports that are out-of-date.
We can however notify you as and when changes are made to companies via our company tracker service. You then know that an updated version of a company report is available.
