Credit score - Not enough information?

HI there,

hoping this thread is on the right place, I've tried on both Expedian and Noodle to get my credit score and both have come back saying they don't have enough information to be able to get a score for me. I've filled out all the information asked for and I have a mobile phone on contract and I'm registered on the electoral role, as well as having an overdraft from my bank. I'm just curious as to what else I need in order to actually get my credit score? I'd rather not take out a credit card if I don't need to but not sure on what else I can do!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks x

    Hopefully you mean Experian and Noddle, rather than a travel company and an Asian foodstuff.

    It would be best to contact them to see how else they could verify you.

    Also try Equifax (via Clearscore). Remember though that you are trying to access your credit files, rather than your scores. We can make up scores for you here if that's all you want.

    Agreed - the important thing is to be able to see what's on your credit *report* rather than your credit score. Your report lists everything companies will see when they do a credit search on you. They'll never see your credit score which is a totally meaningless figure.
