Noddle to offer free credit reports

Best answers:

• Excellent. Weird timing as well, as about 15 minutes ago I was on the phone to cancel my Experian and Equifax free trials, and suffered a bit of a grilling, especially at the hands of Experian.
  Will sign up promptly...
• Do they send this in the post or do you view it online?
• Website crashed lol
• I've been a member since the summer and it's pretty shoddy in all honesty.
• Thats good I get free reports from experian and callcredit now we just need to work on equifax :-)
• You can use your Noddle login on the Callcreditcheck website too.
• Is Big Ears going to match it?
• i like the new layout on there, but not all my "committments" are on there.
• How long does it take for them to register you after you first enter your details on the site? At the moment all I have is an email saying:
  Quote:
• I got the same "next phase" e-mail.
  The MSE effect, so they are flooded temporarily, I assume.
  I just hope they allow a decent response time.
  They are bound to try to contact me when I'm on holiday or something.
• I signed up for the free trial but was horrified to discover they wanted credit card details entering to verify identity (no charge)- er, I don't have one.... End of trial.
• I entered all my info today after getting an invite to sign up having requested to join before Christmas.
  The reply came back "they would be back in contact at a future date" as unable to give me a log in after i'd entered all my details including a credit card
• Its not a great report IMO - I know there are 2 of my accounts which are not on there - including my Mortgage!
• I got a mail yesterday saying they were ready to accept applications. Applied in a few mins and am quite happy with what they show. It's actually more detailed than Experian in that it shows payment histories to loans and cc's, and also credit limit histories. It's a pretty neat site in my opinion: having used both Experian and Equifax it compares well.
  They push credit cards and loans, but I find that quite easy to ignore
