Is there anyway to get an experian credit report, not through Experian?

As the title says,
Is there anyway I can get an instant Experian credit report through a third party site as you can with equifax and call credit?
I need to check my file with them quickly (£2 report takes around a week) and don't really want to spend £14.99 for their other 'services'. I used the free trial years ago.

They seem to use their own site exclusively but I didn't know if I was missing something!

There's a free one called Clear Score that's instant online :)

If you use a different email address, it lets you have the free trial again. It definitely works, I read on here not long ago so gave it a go and I got another free trial.

Clear score is absolutely free. My whole family are signed up with it. It provides the reports for equifax which actually require you to pay Hmm

I have had 2 free trials with experian not sure I even used a different email..

fluffywol · 21/05/2016 11:51

Yup, I use Clear Score too. There's even a free app Smile

I tried Clearscore and they simply couldn't find me, despite having no problems with Experian.

Yeah I just saw a to ad for Clear Score. Not sure at a all what the service includes or whether it impacts your rating to check it, but hey it's free!

I've tried clear score and noddle, they are equifax and call credit. Clear score makes my credit history a lot more attractive than it really is! Smile
I'll give the email address thing with Experian ago, thanks!
I must of used the free trial nearly 6 years ago and was hoping they'd forgotten me!

I've been using Noddle for quite a long time - it works really well.
