As I stated earlier, a government-sanctioned credit checking agency is the last place I thought I'd be ripped off. The whole process is designed to obfuscate the fact that Experian are getting you to sign up to a membership, in the guise of a 'trial'.

I really don't know what you're trying to prove by insulting me by saying 'there's one born every minute'. Maybe you approve of the practice of hiding stealth clauses in small print? Maybe you're just a jerk who gets off on belittling people on the Internet?

What i am trying to prove is that some people just don't listen. On that note i give up. Everyone else seems to understand.

I've had no problems at all with Credit Expert...fairly self explanatory terms.

Unless the government plan to legalise them breaking into your house while you're asleep and tattooing the charges in reverse writing on your forehead so you see them every time you look in the mirror, before going downstairs and painting a giant murial showing a scene from an amusing play about the terms and conditions on your living room wall, I'm really not sure how they can make it any clearer.

If you didn't read what the stuff you actually cut and pasted said then its not really their fault.

If you read but didn't understand it, and then signed up for something you didn't understand, I don't personally think that's their fault either.

noh

giant murial

don't think I'd like to find her there when I got downstairs!

Damn... Can i write to them and complain? They took my money for 3 months after my free trial expired.

It was all their fault, They should have known i was too lazy to phone them and cancel.

Never had a problem with them either, have always been very polite and helpful and I don't think the terms could be any clearer!
