    It's a bit cheeky though as they then use your score and the details you've entered to flog you things like credit cards, etc. So if your score is good, you will get bombarded with stuff.

    I think I'd rather just pay the £2 fee.

    There's a very simple opt-out to avoid this:

  • Free or paid for credit scores aren't worth the paper they are written on.

    Does this offer give ONLY the experian credit score,
    or does it also give you the full credit report with details of all your accounts, etc etc ?

    No it isn't, your credit score is a meaningless number made up by the CRAs, and is not seen by lenders. You credit history is what matters - if you can get this for free then that's worth having :)
