Different ratings on credit files...HELP!

in I wanna buy it or do it
Hi, new here - not sure if I'm posting in the right place!

I've checked my credit file with Experian and Equifax today as I'm going for a mortgage renewal.

My rating with Experian was fair-good but with Equifax it was poor. Yet the same information was on both files? I am not sure how or why it is so different, and obviously I am concerned I may get turned down because of it. Apart from having a tough year financially 5/6 years ago, I've never missed a payment on anything and I have nothing outstanding against me...I'm confused.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
