    Yeah i found that but it is the trial phase so i assume it'll look more like the callcredit report.

    I'll submit some feedback when I can be bothered. But it's hard work trying to read through your financial info lol
  • Got my email, but it will not accept my Co-Op Cashbuilder debit card when I go through the whole register system..... :mad:

    Anyone else had this problem?

    (I don't possess a credit card)

    The card you register with needs to be Visa or Mastercard.

    So you'll be OK with a Visa debit. I signed up with a Visa Debit card OK.

    Got my login today, was nice to read defaults - none CCJs - none etc etc had a few searches that Equifax didn't like a wonga application (from this time last year - I was refused - THANKFULLY!) and some estate agents searches. My gym membership doesn't seem to be anywhere - I need to check credit expert but it's trying to weigh up the pros and cons of spending £15 on info I already know really. Pretty happy with the report though. It has my loan, overdraft and credit card are all on there. Plus my phone so just gym membership... which will be closed in December anyways :) yay! xxx

    Not quite sure why you need to check CreditExpert.

    The only additional info that CreditExpert offers is a "credit score" which is, at best, a guess because each financial institution scores differently. Unless you want a new report several times each year, you don't need that expense at all.

    Don't Experian, Equifax and Call credit all have potentially different information, depending on which CRAs the lender reports to???

    I currently have them all free, but I'd rather get the statutory report for £2 than pay for the more expensive services.

    I wouldn't expect your Gym membership to be reported to credit reference agencies atall.

    Yes, correct.
    Gym membership is not on credit.
    The reason why phones (and sometimes utilities) are on the credit report is because they are credit accounts.
