Hello,

My credit score shot up last month by 35 points. I would like to know why? Nothing major has happened.

However could it be linked to my quote searches for life insurance and income protection quotes?

I wouldn't imagine. It's not like I have paid off a big loan or credit card?

Ignore the score, CRAs are not lenders.

Lenders won't see the searches, so they'll have no impact on credit applications.

Your accounts are a bit older; hopefully you owe a bit less; CRAs probably rejigger their algorithms from time to time.

It's a 3.5% change on a figure that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

The temperature has gone up recently.
Could be because of that.
