Should your IVA appear on all your credit files?

I've recently checked my experian file, and apparently i have an excellent credit rating?

How can this be?!

Hi,

Your IVA will appear on all of your credit files for six years from the date of initial acceptance.

To be honest, credit scores are worth nothing as all companies apply their own criteria for credit scoring.

A few people have had this happen, is it the same for the other 2 credit reference agencies?

Also having a "excellent" rating on experian does mean nothing, it does however imply there are no defaults on your file too. Is that the case, if so it's unusual. May be there is a slight discrepency between your address and what experian have on the file you're looking at.

I checked the addresses and everything appeared ok. Will double check.
i've only checked equifax and the IVA is showing on there, plus my defaults. What other agencies should i check?

Hi,

You need to check Experian and Call Credit as well.
