    Well I have just received an email telling me my credit report is now ready. However logging in still tells me I am not verified and my credit report is not ready.

    That to me is not very inspiring. If they haven't verified me how can the credit report be ready? or vice versa? So why have I received the email?

    Have had no further contact yet re further verification processes, anyone else?

    I have signed up to this service and have to say that I have been quite impressed.

    I have a decent credit rating I'm pleased to say. It was quite an eye-opener to see the number of credit accounts I have had at one time or another.

    The scary thing is that many of the 15 listed are closed (this information is shown) - I didn't realise they still showed up on a credit search...

    I've also received the email telling me my credit report is ready but I'm still not verified. I haven't heard anything from them either about further verification.

    Seems like alot more than 10% are having problems being verified.

    Yes, that's what I found a bit strange - wondering how their system can generate a "credit report ready" email prior to verification.

    Have to see what happens in the next dew days I guess.

    Well just logged on and my credit report is now ready and my address verified although I have received nothing to tell me this.

    No surprises either.

    They stay on for 6 years.

    I think I got a email for this.
    There could (possibly) be problems with your email system.
    I never believe "it's lost in the post" but emails are certainly less reliable.

    I was also one of the 10% as well but now received an email to state that my credit report is ready.

    Email I received from Garlik
