Useful info about free Experian reports

Hi everyone!

I hope this info will be useful !

I got a free 30 day trial with Credit Expert back in March this year.....cancelled b4 my 30 days was up as informed to by fellow MSE'rs ;)

I asked a month or so ago on here if we could get a second trial etc for free but was informed 'No, because they have you on file'

Anyway today i thought i would try my luck...i telephoned Credit Expert (got the free number from saynoto0870.com) and asked if i would be eligible for the free trial agin...stating that i couldn't remember if i had one before...and if i had it was a long time ago..... ;)

The kind woman on the phone took my name address and checked and yes i was on their system...BUT she said she could delete my details and I could sign up for the free 30 day trial again....no probs!:beer:


So as you can imagine......that's what i agreed to...and have successfully signed up for the trial again...:j

So i hope this is useful to some of you :D:D

  • What is exactly involved in the trial? Is it about getting a copy of your credit file? We are hoping to get a mortgage in the summer and hope to see a copy of our credit file. Is this the best way to go about it?

    It gives you instant access to your credit rep0rt online.........free for first 30 days then £49.99 thereafter but you can cancel anytime during the first 30 days thus no charge to your card :D

    That's not strictly true! They actually debit your card straight away, and then refund you if you cancel during the 30 days.......

    So make sure you cancel within the 30 days!!
