Check My Credit File..?

Options
Just seen an advert on TV for this company...whilst ive no interest in giving them £14.99 a month,what im curious about is they state See your data* from 4 Credit Reference Agencies, not just 1.

So who is the fourth CRA...??

Looked for the * on there site and couldn't find any reference to that.

  • How come no mentions them...always thought there was three CRA"s.

    Or are they just a rehash like Noddle etc.

    They're separate, but I've never known a lender who uses them.

    I subscribe to checkmyfile who are currently helping me remove an innacurate 2nd default against one debt.
    Took a few years for me to pay for cra checks, though checkmyfile are excellent and upto date with advice when required.

    I use the free services of Noddle, Clearscore, and MSE CC to get full reports free each month. Paying a monthly subscription for access and advice that could be got free doesn't seem very :money:
