    Sorry to hijack, but i am trying to measure the length of unicorns horns. I'm not asking peoples opinions on whether unicorns exist or not. I'm not asking general advice on the length of unicorns horns.

    i am asking specifically if people have measured the horn of their unicorn precisely.

    I am trying to compile a list of precisely how the length of a unicorns horn relates to you chance of of marrying a prince/ess according to your unicorn 'score'.

    TIA Andy.

    I can't tell you how many points it will increase by but from my own Experian free trial I know one of my negative factors was "limited time on the electoral register" (either just under three years or just under five years due to my age - can't remember if I put my name on at 16 or 18), so I imagine it may take some time for it to have a significant affect/massive increase in points.
    Apologies for any typos, my phone can't handle the forums.

    It must have at least a slight beneficial impact.

    I imagine it's similar to opening a credit account; having one in good standing is good but the longer you've had it the better for your score and it takes time to make a significant impact.

    You're all skirting around the issue, and not answering the all important question...

    TIA Andy.

    I have done this only the other day, and the answer was precisely 42.

    I thought that 42 was the answer to the meaning of the universe and everything.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    It increases it by rand(1,999) points.

    That's not possible. You must be really naive to think lenders don't see your Experian credit score. Officially they're not able to see it, but when I deliberately make an application to a lender and have a friend working there, if he's able to give me feedback on my score, accurately, he's either psychic or able to see my credit score.

    I'm asking specifically if anyone here knows how many points does the score on your Experian credit report increase by once Experian has information that you've registered to vote? And is this increase consistent whether you have a score of say 400 or 900 for example?

    Forget all the twaddle posted here, your credit score really DOES matter. And the key thing is the constituency in which you vote.

    The maths are pretty complex, but in a simplified form it goes something like this :

    Do you live in Greater London ? Yes ? Your score will increase by 56.735%

    Do you live in Greater London ? No ? Who gives a sh*t what you think, that's "The North", innit ?" Credit score = -96.428%

    Do you live on Tattoine ? Yes ? The force is strong within you, you don't need credit, just take whatever you need. When the bailiffs come knocking at your door, you simply say "This is not the debtor you're looking for", and they'll go away.

    Well done Sir, 9/10 for an excellent and amusing troll :):T
