    Sorry for hijacking this thread, but where is the best place to check your credit score?

    I've never genuinely missed a payment but have had a few times where payments have bounced etc due to having already hit my credit card limit (rectified within a matter of days) and automatic payments not going through when supposed to etc so want to make sure these haven't affected my rating..

    There are 3 Credit Reporting Agencies in Australia.

    I use the following websites and app to see my credit score and credit report. They will all offer you deals on finance which is how they make their money but it's not too intrusive.

    Get Credit Score for Equifax

    Credit Simple for Illion

    Clear Score app for Experian

    The ones that I mentioned above are free and include your credit report and also your credit score and they are updated monthly so that you can track any changes.
