Experian and equifax......

Hi, I got my credit report from Experian today, but there's not a lot on it, just one search from MBNA and my own searches that ive tried to make before i got it all sorted out. Would it be worth getting a free trial from Equifax as well, or will it just tell me the same useless info?. :mad:

Any help please?..

    Hi

    I'm not sure about Experian but with Equifax there doesn't look to be much there at first. However, down the left hand side there is a menu. Click on credit agreements to see what agreements you have or have had, and what your payment history is like.

    You can get the free trial so surely it's worth having a look. Go through Martin's links under cards and loans > credit history in the main section of this website. Don't forget to cancel before the 30 days is up!!

    Thanks Pixiechick, i might just do it anyway. I haven't any credit agreements or anything like that, thats why its empty.
    I'm just really curious now but it took me over two weeks to get the one from Experian, first there was a site glitch so they had to remove my application then i had to start all over again and send them lots of documents to verify my identity.. not sure if i can be bothered if i have to go through all that again. :eek:
