In the UK, there are three main credit reference agencies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each of these agencies has a different scoring system and uses different information to determine your credit score. It’s not unusual for your score to be different with each of these agencies.
At CarFinance 247, we work with a panel of lenders who use different credit reference agencies to determine whether they can approve you in principle. As you can’t be certain which of the three agencies your lender uses, it’s good practice to check your credit score at all three. This can be done for free by heading to Credit Karma (which uses TransUnion data), ClearScore (which uses Equifax) or Credit Club from MoneySavingExpert (using Experian data).

Hi Jack, thank you for your question.
As you only have a few blips on your credit profile and an old default for a small amount i doubt this will prevent us from securing you car finance.
The only stumbling block may be the amount you need. On £1300 monthly income we may only be able to get you circa £7000 but this all depends upon which lender we can get you accepted with.
Please make an application and once approved you can choose a car from any dealer and we also provide a no obligation quote. Kind Regards, Rachel
