Credit Score

I posted recently that I was surprised that my personal credit score for a loan with LLoyds went up to 24.9%. Also they have risk indicator for their customers ranging from 0 to 9. The highter the number then you are deemed more of a risk to them. However after being in the 1-3 area for years I am suddenly a risk 9 and no doubt this is why my personal loan illustration is so high. I was asked by Lloyds to get a copy of my Experian credit report and they will show it to their credit dept.
I have my details on line from Experian this evening and what do I find that Bloody Lloyds bank have not updated a card I held with them to show a nil balance. This was cleared 4 months ago. The balance is still shown £14,000 outstanding even though it was cleared months ago.. I got a credit score from Experan and I am deemed poor at 577. The only other amount outstanding is £5,000 for my car. I have no negative history but if Lloyds got off their fat asses and update regularly no doubt my score would be alot different.

  • Well, look on the bright side at least you know what the problem is now. So early next week take yourself down to Lloyds and explain it all to them. I must admit I would be angry too.
