Just found out I,ve been charged £19.95 by a "free check " company . These companies post on yahoo and the like . But fail to make it clear that if you do not cancel within a certain period you get charged ! SO PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THESE "FREE OFFERS" .

You get charged for nearly all free trials, but credit scores are a scam in themselves even from expeian, equifax etc.
A Credit score doesn't really exist, each creditor looks at your file and scores you on their own system of criteria. You could have a score of 900 on experian (top 1000), but not yet on votes roll, and you may find it hard to get a mobile contract.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
Hi Dark COnvict
What do you mean by not on votes roll? Are you referring to the electoral register? This is exactly the problem I have beenn having with Experian that we were talking about a few days ago. If that is what has been causing me the problem I shall be - hopefully - stoozing like a goodun again soon.
