had some credit problems and needed to keep a close eye on my credit file. i would get a report from each of them and then subscribed to checkmyfile. When checking it I found an incorrect entry on my file and was able to clear it which boosted my score. It is an expense that is probably not in everyones budget but it was helpful for my needs. It is well worth it for someone needing to monitor their credit file

Hi Jane,

That's great news about the incorrect entry on your file!

I'm so pleased to hear we were able to help make you aware of that. At Checkmyfile, we make it as easy as possible for you to view and understand your information, cutting through jargon and technical hurdles to make your report easy to navigate.

We return data from all three credit agencies, so you can see everything that a prospective lender might see when you make a credit application.

If you need any help monitoring your credit health or growing your score in the future, we'll be happy to have you back!

All the best,

Amy

Does not act in good faith

Unlike other companies, Checkmyfile will not refund you if you accidentally subscribe or forget to cancel the trial, even if you haven’t used the service.

I personally would avoid a company that does not act in good faith.

Update: they offered £5 refund when I emailed a second time. Then following this review they gave a full refund.

You know refunding customers is the right thing to do, it’s a shame you didn’t do the right thing in the first instance.

It is a great platform

It is a great platform. I had to use it as a one off for my mortgage advisor. If you need a permanent place to keep an eye on things this could be useful. There is a monthly fee attached. I didn't look into what you got extra over other platforms to be honest. So you would have to check that out yousrself.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

You're quite right in thinking that Checkmyfile is a great place to keep an eye on your credit health! So far as things that set us apart from other services go, the key differences are the level of detail you can see with Checkmyfile and the level of support we can offer.

We're the only service in the UK that returns your data from all three credit reference agencies- Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. We also show you your full report from these three agencies, not just your credit score.

This level of detail makes Checkmyfile a great tool to use ahead of a credit application, but it can also help you keep on top of your finances. You can monitor all of your credit agreements (as well as public info, like court judgements, insolvencies and your Electoral Roll listing) in one convenient place!

If there is an issue with your report that you need our help with, no matter which agency holds the data, our friendly UK-based Customer Service team is always on hand to support you.

Best of luck with your mortgage application!

Resolving Old Problems.

I have a small and hitherto unexplained blemish on what otherwise is a perfect credit record. Checkmyfile allowed me to find the lender and take remedial action.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this experience!

It's great to hear that our team helped you track down the error in your report that had been causing you issues. We're really proud of the level of detail we can show in your report. 

As you may know, we return your report from all three credit reference agencies operating in the UK, and search both current and previous addresses for you.

That way, you can see everything that might come up in a credit check with any agency in one convenient place!

Thanks again,

Amy

Hi Victoria,

Thanks so much for leaving this review!

It's great to hear that you've made good use of your free trial of our service. We give our free-trial customers the full Checkmyfile experience, so that everyone gets a chance to try before they buy.

I'm pleased to hear that you've interacted with our customer service team and taken the time to navigate your report. We try to make using Checkmyfile as smooth and friendly an experience as possible, including the cancellation process, and it sounds like we've hit the mark!

Best wishes,

Amy

This is too expensive and there is no option to check your credit for free. After just 2 minutes on your website, you have to pay £14,99, which is not cheap. It should be more affordable and there should be a free option without a subscription.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback — we completely understand that cost is an important consideration when choosing a credit report service.

Checkmyfile is a subscription-based service, and we offer every customer one free trial so they can explore the platform and see the value of viewing all their credit information in one place. After the trial, a subscription is required because we purchase your data directly from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion to provide a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report, along with in-depth analysis and exceptionally high levels of customer support.

Our service also includes a dispute resolution service, where our team can raise disputes on your behalf with the credit agencies if something doesn’t look quite right. The subscription cost covers daily updates to your credit report, and access remains available for the full period paid for, even if you decide to cancel the subscription.

For those who prefer a free option, the credit reference agencies themselves offer free statutory credit reports, which can be requested directly from them.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts — your feedback is genuinely appreciated and helps us continue to improve our service.

All the best,

Kirstie

We'll always advise checking your full report well in advance of a credit application, so you can know exactly what to expect.

Hi Kayla,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

It's great to hear that you appreciate how thorough your report is! We return your credit report from all three credit reference agencies -Equifax, Experian and TransUnion - so that you can see everything a lender might see when you apply for credit.

While there are plenty of practical reasons to want to view your historical data, there's a good reason why your credit report only goes back so far.

Most information (at least, the kind of information that impacts your credit score) ages off your report after 6 years. For example, closed accounts fall off your report after 6 years from their closure date. 

This time limit is there to prevent old debts and payment information from affecting you permanently. 

Because information that's aged off your report isn't stored by the agencies, and can't be returned in a credit check, it also can't appear on your Checkmyfile report.

I hope this has helped to explain the limitations of your credit report. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our team or take a look at the resources in our online Help Centre!

Thanks again for leaving a review,

Amy
