I notice they are vague about which credit file you will be able to access in the future, just stating You will always be able to see your credit report and score for free, forever with ClearScore .
Presumably they will be switching to giving access to Experian credit files rather than Equifax?
I asked on Facebook and was given the same response - no confirmation as to which CRA you will get your data from now.0 -
They are hardly likely to use the competitors site.
Actually, I think that they might just do this, subject to being able to strike a deal that works for both Equifax and Clearscore/Experian.
This would mean that people wanting their free credit reports (and unfortunatley scores) would go to MSE Credit Club for Experia and Clearscore for Equifax - they'd get the traffic, and the credit matching (and referral fees where used) for two out of the three CRA reports.
It would make good business sense to use a competitor in this way.... As long as a deal could be struck, that is!0 -
Which, if any, are the better ones to use. Experian is the most recognisable name, but are they any good?
Any others worth a look?0 -
You need to check all your reports with Experian, Equifax and CallCredit0

Experian is the most widely used by finance companies with Equifax next and Callcredit last.
I check all three for free as detailed below and they all are reporting my financial history correctly. However, the search records are different as different finance companies use different CRAs.

Experian via Money Saving Expert Credit Club
Equifax via Clearscore
Callcredit via Noddle0
