Members may find it useful to check more than one credit information service, as different providers may show different data and tools. The services below offer access to credit information, monitoring tools and eligibility features, together with additional consumer guidance. |
Why check more than one service?
There are three main UK credit reference agencies. Some lenders report to one, two or all three, so a member’s information may not look identical across every service.
- Experian — via Experian
- Equifax — via ClearScore
- TransUnion — via Credit Karma
