Equifax & Experian.

Hi

I checked my credit score last week with the 'Credit Expert' and found it had gone down significantly. credit Expert & Experian are the same & costs £6.99 to get my credit score.
I've just had a look at Equifax and they're charging £14.99 to get the score!
Why is there such a big difference in the two?

    It doesn't make any difference what your score is...stop paying! All lenders have their own criteria (defaults, missed payments, registered on electoal roll etc).
