    yes a few do, but if you call up to cancel they put it down to the 6.99
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • Well it's just £1.99 a month for their monitoring service that advises of any changes to your credit report.

    Call up again, and they'll drop it to £1.99 and you will get warnings when your report changes and you can log in to see those changes. Just not get a new report everytime, just see the changes.

    £6.99 option is for report only and not the credit score, which to be fair is not worth the paper it's printed on anyway.:rotfl:

    checkmyfile charge £19.99 for a single use or £7.99 per month. Crazy.

    Think I'll stick to my £2/agent report (or maybe the "get paid to view your credit report" ones)
  • Not exactly experian but noodle https://www.noddle.co.uk/ give you unlimited free credit reports for life and they are part of call credit.

    Total waste of time and money.

    That goes for that Noddle thing too. Callcredit are totally irrelevant.

  • Well I'd want to know if anything was reported on all 3 agencies, so this is a free way to check on call credit.

    Your statutory credit report from Experian, Equifax or Call Credit is £2.

    Have I missed where this Noddle things say it will provide your Experian and Equifax report ?

    As they seem to be part of Call Credit would it not just be that one ?

    It also seems that this Noodle thing is just another means of targeted advertising with no doubt commission earnt on any completed "click throughs". No thanks !
