  • It might well affect the score but as no-one but you sees it, that hardly matters

    Why are MSE pushing the credit score myth? Even Martin has cottoned onto this and made it clear the score is meaningless.

    Please do not encourage the CRAs in their attempts to push the idea of a real credit score like they have in the US where it rules your life.
