Your credit report is your personal credit history. Lenders check it when you apply for credit, such as a loan, mortgage or credit card.

The contents of your report affect whether or not you get credit and the rate of interest you are charged. In order to ensure you can get affordable credit when you need it, it's crucial that your credit report is up to date and accurate.

Check your National Credit Score

Your National Credit Score is a credit rating based on the information in your Experian credit report. It is a number between zero and 1,000. A higher score suggests that you will probably find it easier to borrow money or buy goods on credit and may be offered better deals than if you have a low credit score.

Once you are a member of CreditExpert you can get a copy of your National Credit Score for just £5.95. If you are not already a member of CreditExpert then enter your details above and sign up for your free credit report.
