Any idea, how good they are? I was under the impression that banks were under no obligation at all to share the information they hold about you. In fact I thought that this was illegal without your explicit concent.

I therefore understood that each bank undertook their own efforts to rate you as a credit risk entirely seperately from other banks.

For this reason I thought people have been able to successfully apply for credit cards while having appauling debt records with other banks, and getting themselves into really bad debt situations.
