Clear score, unable to access my report.
 
I have always been able to access my Clearscore Report.
i was sent an email stating that my new report was available, but when I login, there is a message saying that I could be in a country where the service is unavailable.
Has anyone else experienced problems logging in.

I think it identifies your IP not being in the UK. I had the same problem on other sites.

Use something like Tunnelbear, you can change your IP address to a UK one. You can download and use free for about a month.

To check how deep they'd let you get into debt!

It's BS anyway as potential lenders will look at your current circumstances and past and present credit record when judging whether to lend or not, there is no 'score' as suggested by the TV ads.

That is a good point about letting you check how deep they will let you get into debt.
On the other hand, I used it to check that nobody else is getting me into debt, in my absence.

I once found out that someone had tried to open a storecard in my name.
It's also useful to check that money is not being spent on debit/credit cards.

Banking fraud is rife, its just another tool to help prevent you becoming a victim.

Any searches that have been made also show up, if nothing else it makes interesting reading.

A friend of mine found out her ex, had taken out a credit card in her name, although he hadn't got around to using it.

Hi Collado Kid,

It is a good practice to check clearscore, especially if you will be absent from your main home for long periods at a time, as are a lot of posters on here.
1/2 and 1/2 so to speak.
I also check my internet banking a couple of times a week.
Debit and credit cards, are a gift from heaven for fraudsters, and the contactless ones are basically orgasmic.......
Just present the card to the reader box at the till, and less than £30 spend no pin number is required.
Of course for the folks that have sod all, they have no need to be vigilant, but I want to protect my wonga.
