Equifax

in Credit cards
Hey

I've signed up with Equifax for this 30 day free trial thing. Just got verified so I can login but can't find a way to view my credit report without paying money for something! There's just loads of products that I can "order now" but nothing where I can view my credit report for free!

Any advice would be appreciated :)

    I believe you still have to order your credit report, but it should come up at zero cost.

    Ah well I've seen this:
    Special Offer

    Equifax Credit Watch™ Gold
    30 Day FREE Trial
    Pay for 12 months and save. You'll enjoy an entire year of comprehensive identity theft protection with Equifax Credit Watch™ Gold.
    Try it for FREE for 30 days, then
    Just £69.99 for 12 months

    Then the big order now button where you put in card details. I guess its THAT I need to order and cancel?

    What is it you currently think you've signed up to?
    or have you just registered on their website?

    I was told to sign up to Equifax then cancel before 30 days, and I can see my credit report.

    So I've signed up (created an account), can't see my credit report (but haven't paid for anything)...

    So I just want to check I'm meant to click "order now" for the thing above and put my card details in, and that I won't get charged lol

    Unfortunately I can't remember what I clicked on to download the report when I did it.

    Best thing to do is just give them a quick ring and say that you believe you have signed up for their 30 day free trial but are unsure how to download the report.

    It sounds to me like you might have just created an account on Equifax and not actually signed up for any products.

    When you log in - it should take you to a page that says "My products".
    Do you hav anything listed there?
    If not then you need to order "Equifax Credit Watch gold" which is free for 30 days (they will probably ask for card details but not charge it yet).

    Only after getting this product should you order your credit report which will clearly be marked as £0.
    You may have to wait for a pin number through the post (unless you already got that).
