Yes, me too.
Totally free, I don't *think* I ever even had to put my bank card details in!
Even if I did (and it was so long ago I truly can't recall) I've certainly never been charged a penny. It's a brilliant service.I am employed as a manager in a financial services institution. My views are entirely my own.0 -
I was planning to sign up for Noddle until I discovered that I was required to enter credit card details including security code! I don't think so, I'll do without the credit check thank you.0

In fact given how many people must now have signed up for noddle, the reports of money being taken when it shouldn't are very low.
Never had a problem, and have suggested many many people try it out, none of whom have had an issue.Free/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

I had a penny taken out of my account on 30th May, which happens every month so am thinking each time they update my report, they are taking a penny out.0

Hi, I'm sure a lot of people on here will have been affected by the big hacking scare at TalkTalk this past week. They are recommending that users sign up to Noddle and offer a free 12 month credit check, and I was wondering if anyone on here still use Noddle, the last post I could find was back in 2011. How free are they actually, are they free for life or is it one of those things that start charging huge amounts after a short period?0

noodle is indeed free , however its not live data , just a snapshot taken on a random day every mth , so your info could be upto 7 weeks out of date.
the website is crawling due to the amount of new customers
noodle is free for life , the "12 mth" thing is the optional email alert , that normally costs £20 per year0 -
Thanks, not very reassuring, TT feeding us rubbish?0

well they are actually giving you the (useless) £20 upgrade , as you might know call credid is the smallest of the 3 CRA s , TT don,t even report to them!
a lot more is available free of charge , https://www.clearscore.com/ , inc your tt file !!!0
