Hello
Pretty worried as last month my credit was 780 (fair) i have no other loans or credit and i bought car insurance over the year at £400.
My file has updated and it has dropped 166 points to 620 (poor), will and how quick will this go back to 780 as looking for a mortgage in Aug/Sept
Thanks

Ignore the score, no lenders use it. Any change will see it fall even if the change is positive.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

It's fine. The score isn't real and doesn't matter.
Nothing you have done has made lenders distrust you any more. Ignore it.0 -
