Credit Record Farce ( Stuck in the Middle)

I have recently requested for my credit score form experian and equifax. Experian claims my credit score is very poor while Equifax claims i have very good score. I have not missed any payments in 2years and 1 months. No defaults. I have settled accounts )a) One Store card and two Credit cards. I have not in any financially overcommited. I am now stuck in the middle as i dont know who 2 believe. Could it just be that Credit score from the 3 CRA is just a myth and just a way raising revenue from customers.
I owe £3233 @ 0%

  • It could just be that you have a poor score (in that you have had a quiet credit history) but not a bad rating in anyway, experian and equifax may have monitored your credit history differently and in this case experian might not know all of you histry.

    And to be honest credit score are a myth and all files are rated differently under different crieteria dependant on the creditor..
