    Effectively an eligibility checker for Zopa products in app form. Doesn't even seem to give access to your credit reports (unless I've missed something), not that I'd want companies like this having access to that sort of information. Now people can complain about another useless number dropping for no reason :rotfl:

    I'm curious what sort of things they will recommend people do to boost their "score"...
