I see Noddle offer free for life credit reports, if i joined it would be mainly to keep a eye out if anything dodgy is going on. Do they show as much/less info compared to paying others like experian etc.
Does free = less in noddles case?

So is it worth signing up.

    There are 3 credit reference agencies. Call credit is one of them. Their online portal for members of the public is Noodle. If you want to keep an eye on your Call Credit file, joining Noodle or requesting your Stat report from Call Credit is the only way.

    Credit Expert is Experians portal. It only shows what data Experian hold.

    So yes, it's a good ( free) way to see you Call Credit file.

    Great, UNLESS, you owe anybody any money and are keeping your head down.
    The debt collectors get to bid for "new information" on old debts.

    I'm subscribed to both Noddle and Clearscore. I've no grounds to complain; everything is being reported accurately on there and I've no missing information/creditors.

    If I want to know what's on my Experian credit files I use the stat. £2 service. Definitely "money saving" in terms of the £14.99 monthly fee!
    It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.
