US Credit Report
« on: December 31, 2013, 10:12:39 AM »
Does your credit score in the US mean anything in the UK?  Is it worth getting your credit report?

Nope, your US credit score essentially means nothing in the UK.

When you move to the UK, you are considered to have no credit and you have to start from scratch to build up credit in the UK.

The PPs are right - for better or for worse credit reports do not generally carry over internationally.
