My credit score has gone down hill in the past couple off years and I am not sure why.
I moved house in 2013 .
I cleared my mortage .
I have all the BTL properties paid off .
I took out a loan from M&S for £7500 in December 2014 .
Currently owe £6500 .
I have a credit card from nationwide ,usually £40 per month spend ,cleared every month .
Mobile contract with o2. electric is key pad .
I am on the electrol register.
The only searches on my file are for insurance ,all soft searches .
I know before I moved house my credit rating with 999 .After I moved it was 700 .Now with clearscore its 494
Credit score is stable 10 positives no negatives .
Why is my score not better than 494 out of 700"Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0 -

Like lenders, Clearscore has its own opinion of your creditworthiness and, as such, it has no more weight than any other guess.
What is more important is the score a lender might give you if you apply for credit. On the basis of what you say, it is likely you will have little difficulty with getting credit but your "score" may have changed simply because you're older.
I don't know how your "score" may have changed over time but if there has been a sudden large change then I would suggest that you contact Clearscore for an explanation.Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.0 -
Credit Scores are meaningless. It's quite common for your score with one CRA to go up at the same time as another puts it down. Just concentrate on your credit history. See below link for fuller explanation.

I personally think it's because you don't have a very active credit history.
What I mean about that is you've paid off all the mortgages, you pay off all your small debts very quickly.
They can't see how you manage your money when you owe money if you understand what I mean.The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the more I see,
How little I know.!!0 -

Hi just signed up to clearscore easy to sign up but it has a lot of missing stuff no past accounts and bank accounts are missing past mortgage is missing as well as c/cards so it dose't tell you that much
unless anyone can help..
Not all organisations report credit data to the three CRA's, so it is perfectly feasible that the data maybe missing. To get a full picture you need to get reports from All three, so if you sign up for Noddle (callcredit), Clearscrore (Equifax) and get your statutory £2 report from Experian you should find all your accounts.0 -
Just signed up to clearscore now that capital one are ending their free access to equifax data. Found clearscore easy to sign up to and information is useful. Will probably check once a month to check for identity theft attempts or similar.Britain's Best Money Saver0

Well if that is the case then I presume my score will come up because I have just stoozed £9000 on my Lloyds credit card and only paying the min for the next 18 months.
Also mortgage paid off completely now.
Time will tell!0
