these free checks are usually the "first free month" type deal when you sign up for a years service. if you dont want to tod that then just write to experian and send them a cheque for £2 and ask for all data stored about you under the terms of the Data Protection Act. they will then send you a very form to fill in.

i did it recently - took about a week from start to finish0 -
Thought about this - keep seeing adverts for free credit check but they want all your card details so am worried they are not legit as why would they need them when check is free? If someone knows a good reliable (cheap as possible) way to check please let me know and i will do it - just hate giving card details for something supposedly free lol (dont mind when is legit paying site).
If you are going to do a Credit Check on your self, they will ask for previous addresses. Put your current address down as one you've lived at for a couple of months, then put this problem address down as the previous address.
If you only put the previous address down, the report will go there.I am a Mortgage Consultant and don't like to be told what I can and can't put in a signature so long as it's legal and truthful.0
