Why is my Experian report unavailable
The most common reason is that not enough records exist to create the report. This can happen if your applicant has not opened a credit account, or no accounts have been reported to Experian.

Being unscorable is similar to being credit invisible but means you have a very thin credit file rather than no file at all.
