All

Somthing which some of your may find useful - i did.

I have been sent the following offer from experian which gives you information about your credit score and what you can do to improve it.

This costs £11.50 on the website but using this link you should be able to obtain you credit score for £5.00, remember that this is different than your credit report.

    Remember though there is no such thing as a universal credit score. Each company looks at your credit history and scores it as they see fit.

    Both the main credit reference agencies try to get you to spend more by providing add-ons such as extra explanations or their own credit rating, but this credit rating is just their guess at how a typical company might score you.

    You can see all the same information that lenders see (and more) for just £2. Information on how to make corrections and how to avoid damaging your credit rating is available at various locations including discussions here.

    ^^^ what Reaper said.

    There is no point getting a so-called credit score from Equifax (or any other agency) as each lender uses their own scorecard factors and has their own criteria about who they will lend to.

    Most people know if they are a good or bad risk. It's pretty obvious after a few rejections, without paying for it.

    Experian credit reports are free at https://www.creditexpert.com if you cancel within 30 days or something like that.
