Which? Money podcast: why your credit score could be wrong

We explain why there could be mistakes on your credit score and what could go wrong if you don't fix it

This week we reveal the results of a Which? survey that suggest there is widespread confusing leading to damaging mistakes on people's credit reports. Lenders use your three-digit credit score alongside your credit report to help decide whether or not they'll lend you money. But what happens if the information on your report is incorrect?

On this episode of the podcast, Lucia Ariano is joined by Which? Researcher Megan Thomas and NerdWallet's Senior Editor Adam French to breakdown credit scores, explain any mistakes that might be on your report, and give their advice on how to improve your score.
