Why so low?

My scores, from Checkmyfile.com:

28-08-2007 Experian 659
28-08-2007 Callcredit 824
28-08-2007 Equifax 809

I have a couple of late payments from 2001, that's it. No cards overlimit, within my overdraft always. All loans settled.

I can't see anything in my Experian report to explain why it's so low compared to the others. Can anyone offer any guesses?

    Ignore those scores as they mean NOTHING !!

    There is no such thing as a national credit score therefore you cannot compare these fictitious figures from 3 differing organisations who have differing ways of calculating.

    They DO NOT determine whether you will or will not get credit.

    I hope you didn't pay to get them !
