Hi all,
I reactivated my experian credit file account after being about 5 years unused.
It shows me as living at a previous address and with a good credit score.
I noticed experian offer a credit match faciity where based on the credit score it matches you to a credit card, loan etc.
I know my current credit score is actually poor from problems 3 years ago.
Do you think if i apply for a credit card via experian's match facility the application will be based on my old but good credit score?
Thanks for any constructive help.

Your application for credit will be based on current data about you (not Experian's score) so make sure there are no mistakes in your credit history. If it shows you at the wrong address, this could be seen as bad from a lender's point of view.0 -

How do you know this when you've seemingly not applied for any credit recently? Different lenders will assess your application differently.0 -

No, it'll be based on the score the lender calculates at the time you apply - the old score is Experian's meaningless interpretation of your previous file, resulting in a randomly generated number to encourage you to part with £ each month for their service0 -

Despite you being matched I bet its not guaranteed you would get the loans or credit cards at the apr%.0 -
