Conflicting credit scores - both Experian!

Hello all,
This is my first post and I hope someone can help as I'm quite confused!

I have checked my score on MSE credit club which has increased gradually over the last 6 months. I have not checked Experian Credit Matcher (ECM) for some time and checked it today and was shocked to see the score was completely different to MSE.

MSE - 973 excellent
ECM - 537 very poor

How are they so different when both are Experian??

For reference Clearscore is 549 and Noddle 560 2/5.

Noddle is the only one showing default which I paid in full last October but is still not showing as satisfied - currently sorting this out.
Can anyone shed any light?
Thank you

    The scores are little more than random and will bounce around like a fat kid in a bouncy castle.

    No one sees or cares about them apart from you.

    Ignore all of them.

    If no-one cares about them, why are there so many posts about them? Would like to know which one lenders see before I apply for a loan!

    Becase the CRAs have done a great job of telling people that scores matter, and a lot of people buy it.

    Lenders don't see any of them. They only see the data.
