Hi all
Just shifting through things
Is Experian better than other credit scores or for check what you had or outstanding banks or loans etc or is there free service version just as good as Experian
As for there dark webscan, is this actually good or just all hyped up - I was thinking of buying it
Anyone used it before or tried it ?

None is "better" than the others, you need to check all 3: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/check-free-credit-report/Not least because not all lenders report to, or check, all 3.Ignore your meaningless score, just make sure the raw data are factually correct.I'm not familiar with "dark webscan", but there's no need to pay for anything in order to get the data you need from the CRAs.

I use Credit Karma and Clearscore to regularly keep an eye on some credit reports. I keep an eye on my Experian credit score using their app but would only check my experian credit report if something unexpected happened with my experian credit score.If you use different long, secure passwords for everything, use multi-factor authentication wherever it's available, and only use secure connections then I don't think there's reason to be concerned about any of your valuable data on the 'dark web'1
