  • But surely my history is the same regardless of which agency holds it? I understand agencies might score that report differently (don't worry, I'll ignore the score) but the report itself would be the same no?
  • It surely couldn't be, as different lenders report to to different CRAs.
  • So before applying for a mortgage, I should check all my various histories kept by all the agencies?
