Simply Yours WARNING RE CREDIT REPORT

A few months ago I, like lots of women, thought... time for some new undies. So being a larger lady went online and found Simply Yours. Well what they dont tell you is, they check your credit file, which is understandable I guess, but unlike others which only look at it, they leave their big size 10s all over it. I only found out when I got the free for 30 days report from Experian. So be warned, they dont even put the address to write to on their site, you have to call two premium rate numbers to get that info.

I am going to ask them to take it off the file and have also told them that I will let everyone here know the outcome....:T I would rather have knee pads for boobs than give that shower any of my dosh !!!
"Many a mickle maks a muckle"... but just how many mickles do you need ? dont suppose a piece of string and a ha'penny will do this time:rotfl:

    I think all catalogue companies do this. And it is only a search. It doesn't have a huge affect on your credit history at all.
  • I'm sure you are right, but its the way they do it, so underhand that gets my goat... I'm going to read Enid Blyton or Millie Mollie Mandy and pretend the world isnt cr^p !!

    I thought they all did it?

    It doesn't matter who searches you, only that your record is good.
