When I call them they tell me they can only see what's on the original report.

I've been making use of this facility for several years now (since seeing the 90 days mentioned in a covering letter from one of them - can't remember which though), and in my experience the only things you can't discuss are searches and new accounts set up since the reports were generated.

But I have always been able to ascertain whether an account has been settled or not within the last 90 days...and since the original report was generated.

Just to add, I've done the free trial with Experian three times in recent years, the last in Jan 2011 and even used my old log-in details.

I also go through TopCashBack every time. Nice to get paid for something you're going to do anyway.

I rang up to cancel a card today and was informed that there was 'a 0% balance transfer promotion waiting for me on my account'. :rotfl:

Apparently it's fine for me to transfer hubby's balance onto it so question answered :beer:
