CheckMyFile tip

I've signed up for Credit Expert and CheckMyFile to get my credit reports and annoyingly with CheckMyFile when you download the report as a PDF it has a randomly generated password you have to enter to open the file.
I figured out a way round this which is to open the file and go to print it, but instead of a printer select "Print to PDF" which will re-save it as a PDF but without the password. That way when you've cancelled your CheckMyFile subscription you can still open your report without issue. Hope this helps.
