There’s no such thing as a “national credit score”. See Martin’s piece called Your Credit Rating: How it works and how to improve it...

While the credit reference agencies, Experian, Equifax and Callcredit can provide you or companies with a numerical value that summaries the information they hold, it’s just one particular formula for calcuating such a number and it’s only based on the information they hold. A lender may have extra information that you have provided or that they have built up from having a relationship with you in the past.

Thanks.
It's very helpful.

It's worth noting you can get paid 6 quid to check your Experian rating via either TopCashBack or QuidCo.
