    It's impossible for the site to be charging you, it's only just taking preregistrations.

    Yep. And presumably the 1st 10,000 to do that may get on the trial.

    That was what I was getting at. :o

    Maybe it'll be a while before they start contacting those who got in quick enough for the trial...

    Hope it is done that way, although no confirmation email or anything yet to acknowledge i've pre registered.

    I've just pre-registered. Edit: I got an online thank-you type acknowledgement of the pre-registration but no email confirmation, as yet.

    The Telegraph says that noddle will be funded through a partnership with a "price-comparison website"

    Anybody got any ideas?

    See Noddle's news page. They will offer products that appear suitable based on your credit report. That seems like a potentially useful service for those who are uncertain about how well they will do on applications[STRIKE], provided it's reasonably accurate, a potential problem given the limited data that Call Credit has[/STRIKE]. Noddle will presumably get the usual referral fees and make money that way.
