Free Credit File Check

[Tilly2]

Please can anyone recommend a company that does a free credit file check without it being tied to a 30 day free trial. I have looked at Experian but they have a thirty day free trial and I don't want to get into that.

Are these sites safe to use?

Thanks.

Hey Tilly, please let me know if it works.

I was going to use Noddle, but after Googling this company I changed my mind. But I leave it to you to make your own mind up.

I am registered with Clearscore and have been since last november. It seems fine. They appear to make their money from finding subscribers offers for credit cards and so on but there is no pressure or continued emails. You have to give them your bank details and so on so they can make you a credit report but so far all fine.

Having looked at The Martin Lewis website, I decided to go with Experian. It is easy, he says, to unsubscribe from the 30 day trial with a freephone number to do so.

I am very impressed with the Experian site and I have found answers to some questions which I had about old credit cards and shop cards.

This is all to do with a PPI claim which I hope to make.

Thanks for your responses all of you.

silly tilly !

I recollect somewhere you have posted this before and were deluged with "dont do that - there is one of £2"

and heeeeeere it is

O god there are a whole lead of numbskulls wondering if they should do the free one month offer
DON'T DO IT !

I have an advantage that I know they have to offer a £2 credit check and
...... they have to advertise it somewhere

and it is - if you go down to their home page
along with legal-contact us-privacy - the bottom most bar
you will find statuory check
try it and see

do the same for equifax

I am quite capable of making a phone call to cancel my subscription, Peter.

Once I have printed off my credit file, and rang them to ask a particular question, I shall do just that.

[Peter Pedant]

they rely on you forgetting to do this to make a profit dear gurl
and the stat check is hidden away to make you think they only way is to sign up for a month .....

we are surrounded by sharks thieves and con men and the credit companies are but two

[Tilly2]

I have written down the date and I won't forget, Peter. Thanks for the heads up. x

It's worth remembering that credit reference agencies are obliged, by law, to provide you with a copy of all the information that they hold about you for a maximum fee of £2. So anyone who doesn't want to go down the 'free trial' route only has to part with that very small sum.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Chris.

Peter, just made a phone call and cancelled my account. Letting you know so that you don't worry about me.
