Why do you care? Looks like this “credit agency” is only used by telecoms scum and not by any reputable companies.

I’d personally love to have a marker that tells the nasty telcos that I am “no good” and they shouldn’t bother doing business with me.

It is not only used by telcoms. It is also used by utilities. So an unpaid bill on your broadband service can lead to a higher deposit when you move and sign up for electricity or propane.
Well you get your money back since its a deposit. Few hundred more is not ideal, but it is not much.
