Privacy & Free Credit Reports

I have ClearScore and Credit Karma (previously noddle) accounts - to view my credit reports.

When Noddle got brought by Credit Karma I questioned the privacy around getting a free credit report. Obviously we need to check to make sure no one is fraudulently creating accounts in our name,

Im asking an open question on Credit Reports and privacy? - they are obviously analysing our credit performance to then make offers available. Anything I should be thinking concerned about in terms of privacy or any alternatives? Ive just seen Credit Club - is it worth it?

    The question from the OP appears to be whether the MSE Credit Club is worth it :)

    I'm not sure how the OP would define "worth it", but the MSE Credit Club is entirely FREE :money:

    The OP says they already have the following accounts:

    ClearScore - this gives their Equifax credit report

    Credit Karma (previously noddle) - this gives their TransUnion (formerly Callcredit) credit report

    So an MSE Credit Culb membership would give access to the credit report from the third credit reference agency, Experian :)
