noddle credit score misleading

I've just logged in to noddle and had a look at my credit score.

If anyone else uses this I was just wondering what you all think of the statement above your credit score as to me it miss selling and miss leading. I know you don't pay for it but it may push people to purchase products like noddle improve for the wrong reasons.

Anyway this is what they have put.

"Your credit score is important because lenders will use it whenever you apply for credit which can be something as big as a mortgage or as simple as a mobile phone."

Futuristic

It is true lenders will use "a credit score" but with their own rating system which no one knows so yes could be seen as misleading. Also the Noddle score is not even close to accurate reading of your credit history.

I believe there's a few topics here about the score already.

Well the score I don't care about its the fact there wording it in such a way that would make people think that their noddle score is used by lenders.

May be looking in the wrong place, but I do not see that wording

It's definitely there. I done it from a mobile and from the left hand menu when I select credit score it comes up. The wording is at the top above the rainbow with the made up score.

That explains it. Yes, seems to only appear on mobile or tablet and not in full desktop version of the site.
