Do I really need to check all the Credit Agencies?

I've just checked Clearscore, and as I expected, it's come back clear, with a rating of 733 stable out of 1000.
Only one search in the last 6 months, when I obtained my Credit Card.
2018 - 0 Missed Payments.
2019 - 0 Missed Payments.
2020 - 0 Missed Payments.
2021 - 0 Missed Payments.
2022 - 0 Missed Payments.
2023 - 0 Missed Payments.
2024 - 0 Missed Payments.
Credit Card - Last balance £0
Utility (water) - Last balance £0
Telecoms - Last balance £0
Current Account - Overdraft used £0
Is there any point in checking other agencies?

Yes in case there are any erroneous entries. Not all organisations report to all 3 nor do lenders request data from all 3.

I've checked 2 of them.
I'm waiting for them to send me the Passkey for the Experion one.
The 2 I've checked have come back clean.

Clearscore shows me my defaulted credit card from just under 6 years ago; my O2 contract; car loan that finishes in just over a year; 2 credit cards.
700ish out of 1000 for its fake score.
Experian, I'm waiting for the passkey as well, but it's fake score has dropped 115 to 300ish this month.
Transunion, I get for free through the Lloyds banking app, and that shows 3 x CCJ from Erudio Student Loans (Drysden Fairfax?). Judgments, 2 from the 7th Jan 2019, and one from the 12th Dec 2018, so I assume they drop off in the next 6 months. Not on Clearscore.
545 out of 710 for their fake score.
