    Phoned to cancel my Credit Expert account before free trial runs out - Nice man on the phone told me I had a really good report and my Credit score is top end :j so that is all good! He also told me that you should keep credit applications to 4 a year maximum to stop this affecting your credit rating...... very interesting.......he was a lovely chap!
