Experian Searches?

stoveman

hey guys,

Having checked my experian score it seem my score is not great down to the fact that I have had no searchs against my file in 12 months and they say its bad?

what sort of things do searches against your experian file? how can I get some searches recorded to boost score?

Regards,

That does surprise me.

yeah i thought it was strange but when i log in it shows you what are good and what is bad.

and everything is good but says my searches are bad cos i dont have any?

I have applied for insuance etc and been accepted but will just do a quote on that site

Marshall Ward/Littlewoods Accounts and not use them?

That will also build up a satisfactory "payment" history against active accounts.....

yep have accounts with those guys,

i do have defaults on other credit files (equifax and call credit) but they will drop off today as it goes.

I will have to see if the score goes up after that. But as Experian doesnt show defaults etc just thought i would try and boost that so i can re mortgage
