well if u know anything about credit checking...they always ask for your bank account details...its a way of searching ur address and lots of other identity stuff... maybe you shud change your username to cynic?
How long does it take for them to email you back - Signed up 15 minutes ago and havent recieved anything yet - I entered my card details and starting to feel a little uneasy
Hmm... I've signed up, feel a little reasurred but after reading the money saving expert thread still feel a little worried - hope my card details will be safe
said it's free but what is the MSE (callcredit charging £12) about? if i can view the report does that mean i've 'ordered' it therefore i will be charged £12?
