I currently access my credit reports via Noddle and ClearScore who provide this for free from information held by Call Credit and Equifax respectively.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a service that will provide me with my Experian report free of charge. I know the Experian website lets you see your score however its the full report that I am looking for so I can monitor it as I do my Call Credit and Equifax.
@mdnn85 Just a word of warning. I discovered that my ClearScore report was inaccurate and didn’t relate properly to my Equifax report at all. It was massively out of date.
I’m also having issues with Noddle’s free report, they’re missing some of my data and giving me an awful score as a result, but basically aren’t interested and just want me to pay. I’m having a very protracted conversation with them about it because each time you reply to their email it takes up to 10 days for them to reply!
ClearScore uses Equifax, so it is likely to be different from CallCredit. As they simply present the information given by Equifax, any problems will likely be with your Equifax record not ClearScore themselves.
If you are having problems with Noddle, get a free statutory report from CallCredit directly and deal with CallCredit. They’re not very fast at responding in all honesty, but I’ve found them sometimes better than Noddle.
Experian do give the free trial for 30 days. I just registered, downloaded the report and then called up and cancelled. I think you can even do it via account settings now.
Sorry, you’re correct, I should have said Equifax. I’ll correct the post. The point I was trying to make is that I thought the Clearscore report was exactly the same as the Equifax one. It wasn’t and Equifax advised me not to trust it
Really? That’s interesting. I mean it’s free to get a statutory report these days so it’s not too bad. I’ll have to get one to compare. Only Experian make it difficult by posting a pass key even for online access.
the only issue I found with the credit club is that my Monzo doesn’t appear on there, I believe its because Mozno don’t report to Experian they report to somebody else…
checkmyfile gets their information from Call Credit, Experian and Equifax, it costs £15 a month though (or occasionally £10 if you manage to get it discounted). I think you can get month’s free trial if you’re a new customer.
