    Youve obviously got a little soft spot with experians scores Izools.

    You know they're not a true reflection of your score yet you continue to waste your money on them!

    No, I keep getting the free trial :p

    I know they're a waste of money, this is why I posted it! Just to say to everyone else, if they'll give a discharged bankrupt with six defaults an "Excellent" score, would anyone trust them?

    If this is what brings enjoyment, then who are we to argue?

    MSE should make a sticky about experians scores along with these loan broker companies,they must be paying MSE to much money.

    Oh, and to add insult to injury a Credit Expert "Expert" told me that creditors don't view discharged bankruptcy orders negatively.

    How these jokers manage to get away with it beggars belief.

    How do you get the free trial more than once?

    Use a different email address.

    Out of an abundance of caution I tick the 'Don't know' option when it asks if I've had a free trial in the past rather than 'No.' :p

    I use https://www.privacyguard.co.uk which uses Experian for the data, all the info you get through Experian including the scores for £6.99 per month with a 30 day trial.

    I had a 30 day trial a month or so ago, cancelled and am now on my 2nd 'trial'!!!

    Your Credit Score Summary
    Your National Credit Score is based upon your Experian credit report. Your score gives a guide to how your report may influence a lending decision. Please see below for a full explanation.
    Your National Credit Score: 251 on a scale of 0-999
    The category for this score is: Very poor Poor Fair Good Excellent
    I have numerous qualifications in Business and Finance, Accountancy, Health and Safety and am now studying Law.

    Don't rely on anything I write as it may be wrong!!!

    I have nine massive defaults, I would probably get excellent as well :rotfl:. I should look at mine really, not that I want credit, just to see if it's accurate.
