    it is possible. Because i have had x2 30day trials. not sure what the time period is but i signed up in 2010 got a free trial. Then signed up again 2012 and got another free trial with exact same details. So its not impossible.

    Contrary to this I first signed up about 8 years ago and got a free trial, cancelled after about a year and they wouldn't allow me a "new customer" free trial when I tried it on recently

    It wouldnt let me have another free trial even though i last did one over 6 years ago.

    So looks like you can only have one free trial. Unless their terms change.

  • why are people still getting so excited about CRAs?what they supply isnt worth zilch,or the hassle of a free trail...........

    "isn't worth zilch" is a nonsense but if you mean the information they supply isn't worth anything then I disagree. It can cost you a lot of money if a CRA holds inaccurate information about you and as a result you can't shift a high interest balance. Paying £4 in advance of a new credit application is a no-brainer and worth every penny
