Higuys, started to panic as my car isnt working well. Finished my IVA a year ago after completing 6 years . So left a year before checking my credit file. Went through noodle and credit score and both show me in the green with resonable credit score. 646/710.
question is if these are good will equifax and experian be the same. Or do i need to check them as well.

Credit score means nothing - the creditors dont actullay see these. Each one of the credit agencies - may hold slight diffrent infomation - so it may be worth getting a £2 report from each of them to ensure no defaults etc are showing. If they are clear then its up to the criteria set by the lender that will decide whether they will offer a service

Clear Score is Equifax and Noddle is CallCredit, both are free to register. So you would only have to sign up for the £2 report from Experian.
As Ginger says, most lenders are not interested in your score, just your showing that you have been in the black and have no current CCJ, defaults or accounts in arrears.

You really need to check all three --- different creditors report to different agencies, so they could well hold something not shown elsewhere. You need the one your prospective lender uses to be clear -- and the only surefire way is to make sure they are all clear.

Yes -- that is the subscription option I think --- a statutory report is only £2.

You can sign up for a months free trial but if you do then remember to cancel it before the end.

Great advice from previous posters. It is the statutory report you require, personally I would avoid the free trials because effectively you have to sign up and then cancel - except they make it rather difficult to do so. As Ginger says though, it's the information contained on the report you are interested in - the score has little or no significance to lenders who have their own unique way of assessing your score.

Hi,

Have you tried Googling them? If not then get in touch with your IP and ask them.
