    You did nothing wrong :)

    Some competitions seem a little dodgy, when they may/may not be.

    well after reading the terms and cons loads of times over, when you register through the website, part of the registration is a free credit survey. But as DippyChick said, sending them a blank email is fine

    Hope this Helps

    Sorry about any confusion, i'm new to this

    I've used checkmyfile (in a work type capacity) before and would be happy to say it is a reputable site.

    but it is up to the individual to decide.

    I have used it to get a credit report done in the past and had no problem but I just didn't want to fill in details again.

    It is a reputable company, it belongs to Equifax or Experian, another credit file company :)
