Credit Report
 
Hi
credit reports seem to be the rage with property, car dealers etc.

I know of some and equifax uk seem to be the most known.

What are people's experience with obtaining a report, how useful is it, and did you have difficulty in stopping the service ? Which company did you use ?

I ask this as some people in the UK say that when you buy the credit report - 1st is free, it is very difficult to stop the reports coming and your card being charged ?????

Thanks

Equifax is the one to go with, Experian is unlikely to be recognised in Canada. We bought ours and had no bother with having to pay for additional ones. For the relatively small cost, it was worth it for us.

What he said /\ /\ /\ /\

I got my free one and canceled no probs. Used it to get a $5,000 Visa card when we opened our TD Canada account, in the first week. :thumbsup:

Never got one, never been asked for one, never needed one.
