in Bankruptcy & living with it
Im thinking of starting my credit file clean up. Had ED in may. Is it worth using the free trials for credit reports? Do they give enough info? Thanks

    true..but prefer the paper based ones instead they're easier to work with and sometimes will contain information a computer based report does not

    I have just finished doing mine and definitely have to agree with Phil, I got all 3 statutory files and also joined the free trials for all 3 CRA`s. The paper files were far easier to work with and contained more information.
