Hi Julian,

Thank you for sharing your experience!

It's great to hear that Checkmyfile was able to help you with removing irrelevant information from your report. 

Most information ages off of your report automatically, but in instances where something goes wrong with this process (or for financial associates, which stay indefinitely until you dispute them), knowing your report is the first step towards getting things sorted.

Best of luck with your mortgage application, I hope it all went well!

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating that must have been. We always aim to make the reactivation process as clear as possible, so our customers feel fully in control of their subscription.

A member of our team has reviewed your case, and I can see that we’ve already reached out to you through your Checkmyfile account. It appears that everything should now be resolved.

Hi Dean,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Checkmyfile returns information from all three of the credit agencies that operate in the UK (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) to show you the most detailed report possible. 

It's great to hear that this has all paid off to create a better user experience for you! We're passionate about data transparency and love being able to show everyone the data that's out there for them.

I recently signed up to CHECK MY FILE to better understand my credit profile, and I found the whole process very straightforward. Signing up was simple — I just created an account, entered my personal details, completed a quick identity check, and was able to access my credit report within minutes.
I personally found the report clear and easy to follow, with all my credit information brought together in one place. It made it much easier to see my credit history and understand what might be affecting my score. Overall, my experience was positive, and I would recommend CHECK MY FILE to anyone wanting a simple way to check and monitor their credit report.

Hi Gurwara,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

It's great to hear that you've had an easy time signing up to Checkmyfile. Our whole account creation process has been designed to make our service easy to access while maintaining our strict security measures.

It's all set up to make sure that you can view your report with us, while keeping anyone else out!

Thanks for also mentioning how much easier it can be to understand your report once all of your information is shared to one place. It's something that Checkmyfile does better than anyone else, and it's great to know how helpful it's been!

It's awesome to hear that we can rely on you for a recommendation. 

Many thanks,

Good reports and detail

The reports and the detail in them are excellent with information from all three agencies. If you are on the
alert for improving credit or credit deals, the service is probably worthwhile but, if you just want to check occasionally for fraud or identity theft, then the monthly subscription is too high. A one off search fee whenever one wanted check this sort of information would bemotre acceptable!

Hi John,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

While Checkmyfile doesn't offer a one-off payment option (at least not right now!) we do make it easy to cancel and reactivate your subscription as you need it.

That being said, we know that Checkmyfile isn't for everyone. We set ourselves apart by providing you with more detail than any other credit report - returning your data from all three credit reference agencies - and having our excellent Customer Service team and Dispute service available to you.

We're really on board with encouraging people to view and understand their credit report, whether that's through Checkmyfile, their statutory report, or a separate third-party service. The more we all know about our finances, the better placed we'll be to prevent fraud and grow our credit health together.

Thanks again for sharing. Our team is always monitoring customer feedback for ideas to make our service more convenient and accessible, so reviews like this are really valuable to us.

Hi Penny,

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

You've pinpointed exactly what it is we aim to do! By showing all three agencies' data in one place, your Checkmyfile report will let you see what each of your lenders reports to each agency. 

This shows you everything that might come up in a credit application, as well as giving you a great vantage point to detect and correct errors and discrepancies.

Our friendly Customer Service team is also always on hand to help if you need them.

Thanks again,

Amy

No issues with the service, but there are others providing similar data for free that is possibly not as comprehensive, but useable for most purposes.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

We know that a Checkmyfile subscription isn't for everyone - and that's OK! There are plenty of free options for checking a credit score or obtaining your statutory report. As a company that goes all-in on data transparency, we're really happy for anyone who's doing what they can to improve their credit health.

Checkmyfile sets itself apart by offering the most comprehensive report available. We are the only service that returns your full report from all three credit agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) in one place, which is great for taking a thorough look at your finances, especially in advance of a major credit application.

It's great to hear that you had a smooth experience using Checkmyfile. If you ever do need our service in the future, we'll be happy to have you back!

Many thanks,

Amy
