    I don't know why your broker would be obtaining your credit file?

    Are you sure they aren't obtaining an agreement in principle from a mortgage lender?

    I still don't know why a broker can/would obtain a client's credit file. It would be more usual for the client to obtain it and provide it to the broker.

    Your credit file is clean or not. There's nothing a broker can do to make it cleaner. That's why we recommend the client obtains all three versions of his credit file to see which is the cleanest of the three.
