Just had a look at my credit report from Equifax and Experien. Both are virtually the same apart from Experien has a record of a loan I had from Hitachi Finance which ended this year. No mention of this on Equifax.
The online Experien report shows searches by the following:
- MBNA Europe Bank (Sony Card application)
- Nationwide (Current Account & Credit Card)
- Morgan Stanley (Refused - Didn't meet financial criteria)
- 2 searches for car insurance (AGP "Admiral, Bell, Diamond, Elephant" & Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance).
My credit score is 824 and Experien rate that as Fair!! I would have thought that it should have at least been in the category of Good.
