    Don't worry about a low score.

    It means nothing.

    Just as well then because my score has gone down to 790. Must have been the 4 credit searches for bank accounts and NW credit card in the last few months that bought it down. However this time last year my debt (snoozing was £20,000). Now only £2,000 for purchases and score is lower than with the biggie debt.

    Would you like some of mine to put it back to 999 again?
