Back to the original post...

Has anyone tried this out?

They receive your history from Equifax it seems but are a completely independent company.

Looks legitimate:

--EDIT--
I did end up signing up last night and it seems to be a good 2nd CRA to check. I would assume Equifax is more widely used by credit providers than call credit too?

It seems quite basic but it has everything you really need which is your history, I like how they will be implementing history graphs and goals as well!

I also had a issue like others, I had to use my Noddle account to answer some of the questions! However they are using Equifax (of course) whom provide those questions and answers so you need to know them to get the account setup and verified.

Very basic history though accurate info and closed accounts (which are included in dmg sc

The electoral roll info is more detailed than Noddle. It shows that I'm on twice (despite me telling the council months ago!) and also one seemingly random electoral role record from the 90s.

Oh, and my score is a little better than Noddle (484 out of 700 vs Noddle's 585 which I guess is out of 1000). Clearscore's score is clearly more accurate.

Thanks for this signed up, does show a few things differently to Noddle which is always good to be able to compare.

They ask a lot of questions when you to register

I got asked about a card I applied for in 2011 and the credit limit on it.
I thought that was expecting quite a lot and it was partly luck that I go it right (it was multiple choice, so that makes it easier).

I found it helped me to have Noddle open at the same time. I was asked for long since closed cards from around 2006 - no chance without the Noddle account!

I've tried to register today but it's asking me for endless addresses and won't let me proceed.

I've just signed up and so far so good. If you have CCJ's though, check them! Mine are showing as £30,200 and £9000 when it should be £302 and £90! Talk about a shock lol
