    A credit 'report' contains FACT. A credit 'score' contains OPINION.

    Lenders base their lending decisions on FACT (they input the data supplied by the CRA's into their own sophisticated scoring systems)...not the OPINION of a credit reference agency in the form of a so-called score.

    The CRA supplied scores are just a way for them to make money from the gullible and insecure (no offence intended...to you or others reading).

    I imagine a CRA 'score' could change several times a month...maybe even daily if there is a lot of activity with the DATA on your file, ie several searches, lenders' monthly updates, etc.
