how do people find this? I am having a trial here and really helping me - for default dates etc

is this as good as the companies direct?

I've used them a few times, but found issue with the fact they advetise a "triple agency report" (don't know if they do anymore) and charge you to search the 3 agencies. Yet when you pay for your reports and look at them, they only contain data for two agencies.

When I pulled them up on it they played it down saying Experian's data wasn't as "rich" as Equifax or Callcredit. I pointed out I'd paid for a triple agency report, regardless of the richness of data and demanded a full refund.

The truth is, Experian don't supply data to checkmyfile as they like to sell their own products and services.

does state its two agencies with some bits on my report from Experian as well.

Ah, so they've changed the wording then. I expect they got pulled up on the "3 agency report" a fair bit.

Apart from the issues above I found it easy to use, and handy to have your reports in one place.

Personally though, I just use Noddle as it's free and shows all my accounts. Alternatively, you could get your £2 statutory reports from each.

Noddle wouldnt confirm I was who I was, and as my ex husband is a **** and I trust him as far as I can throw him. Left me with so much debt its good for me to see it and pretty sure would use it more than 3 times in a month to check (yes I am THAT worried about it all)

The lack of info from Experian would be enough for me not to use CMF again tbh. That's just me though :cool:
