Credit Lock Experian

Options
Hello 

Due to a data breach at my work  I was  offered Experian Plus free of charge. I had applied the credit lock to my account. It was offered for a year. This has now expired and I am not sure if the credit lock is automatically released or  stays in place? I cannot access the account fully without applying for a free trial? It does have an account number and recognise that I did previously have an account. Appreciate any help anyone can give on this.

Many thanks.

    I was in a similar situation.  I assume the Credit Lock was automatically removed because I've taken out credit agreements recently and have not faced any issues.
