Opened the Experian app earlier and it says they are giving some of their customers their full Experian Credit Report for free, as a trial, anyone else got this?

I looked into mine apparently I defaulted with Virgin Media in 2018 by £65, that info doesn't seem to show up on other apps, should be coming off my report soon anyways but yea.

    It's just to tempt you to pay for their pointless service

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    That is for TransUnion not Experian, people should check all 3 routinely, currently Experian has no easily accessible free interface for this other than your statutory report
