    Thank you. I had a look at buying the experian credit report but am concerned that they could give details of my address to dept recovery agencies... 'A record of this check will be kept and, with your consent, may be used by other organisations for verification and fraud prevention purposes.' 'We and other organisations may also access and use this information to prevent fraud and money laundering, for example, when:
    • Checking details on applications for credit and credit related or other facilities
    • Managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities
    • Recovering debt'
    I am considering opening a bank account so that I can access the Credit Club credit reports , or would Credit Club also give my info to dept recovery agencies? Thank you
