Useful info about free Experian reports

Hi everyone,

Just posted this on Debtfree too....

I enquired here a month or so ago on here, if I could get a second free trial from Credit Expert and was told 'No, as they have your info on file'...fair enough !

Anyway i thought i would try my luck today and phoned Credt Expert up (got free number from saynoto0870)

I explained that i thought i may have had a membership with them a while ago but wasn't sure, (i had free trial back in MArch this year), and would it effect me if i applied for the free trial...The kind woman explained that yes it would BUT she could delete my details from their system and i could apply again with no problems...
She took my name and address, checked and yes i was there, and within 5 mins i was deleted and a few mins after that I had successfully applied fr my new free 30 day trial and viewed my report :D:D

HTH
