MSE Credit Club and Experian drastically different on same date

240 Posts

I got an email through from Experian prompting to check my credit score, and got a VERY nasty shock when the summary dashboard showed a 115 point reduction in my score, taking me to the lower end of "good".
I then quickly logged on to the MSE Credit Club dashboard, which still shows me solidly in the middle of excellent. Aware that this is only a snapshop I then took a look at the Credit Club report, and notice the report was generated today, next report available 22nd Feb.
I can't see anything on the detailed Credit Club report that would make such a drastic change in my points, and can't figure out why they would both be different given they are both Experian data in the background.
Any ideas as to why they would be so wildly different and how I can figure out what this 115 point reduction is due to?

You just need to check all the data recorded in your three credit files, for accuracy

Thank you
If yes then there's no issue as far as I'm concerned.
Maybe the summary on the Experian site just has some kind of glitch?
My concern is if the Credit Club report data is old, maybe something has happened (identity theft type of scenario) in the last few days which is showing in the Experian summary but not in the Credit Club report.
Experian is a real time life shot of what your score is today.
MSE club is usually a few weeks behind. Its run once a month and at a particular point in time.
