  • Well, seeing as i'm an impatient sort :o i thought i'd sign up anyway and use my cc as proof of id so if it was dodgy i'd have some protection. It emailed me a pin and a link, when trying to sign in came up red and locked me out!! saying 'too many unsucessful attempts':eek: i'd only tried once!

    I have sent them an email so will wait and see......

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    The main drawback with Noddle is the data it has access to, Noddle is a brand of Callcredit, the smallest of the 3 credit reference agencies in the UK. Many large companies report of Experian or Equifax, and the info can take a while to show on Noddle/Call Credit (if it makes it at all).

    Thanks, at least i know it's legit though, (If a little slow and annoying|)

    Same here they have been great - listed all my debts and settled accounts and have not taken any money from my account.

    They make money by using it as a honey trap.
    Numerous people visit every day out of curiosity that have built up debts and moved and hidden from them for years.
    On they go and enter correct contact and location details and search these old debts.
    Then they sell the information to debt sharks who chase you for the money.
