    Or maybe they are just creating a "story" where there isn't one, and not for the first time.

    Sunday Times Money Section - Pi$$ poor journalism, riddled with basic errors. Any MSEr could do better.

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Well it's not mis-selling is it? A clear need exists ...
