Trusted UK Good and Bad Credit Scores Broker

In the UK, credit scores vary depending on the Credit Reference Agency you check with. The three main Credit Reference Agencies in the UK are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion—each have different scoring systems.

Experian (0-999)        0 – 560    561 – 720      721 – 880      881 – 960      961 – 999
