Experian credit report for free

artyboy

Apologies if this is old news to the regulars here, but I had thought that since the MSE credit club moved over to Transunion, there was no (easy) free access to my Experian credit report.

Turns out I was wrong - you can sign up for a free account directly with them, and also get full report access via their app. And if you go via TopCashback, you can also get £9 for doing so.

...well, I thought it might be worth a mention!

Are you sure it's full report, not free score?

I initially thought the same, but yes - you
sign up to the website via TCB, and once done, it tells you to get the Experian app if you want to see your full report. I've done that now and it does appear to show everything I'd normally expect to see...
