    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    I pay a monthly fee, and check very often.. but I did wonder; is it damaging to keep looking at the form? - is it classed as a search on your file?

    No I don't think so ... It's an unregistered search which doesn't show to lenders ..

    Same here on average with Experian .... although I only check Equifax once a week and don't have a subscription with Call Credit.
