Default OT - Experian - subscribe online, can't cancel online

I used the 30 day free trial at Experian to check my credit record
this morning.

All sign-up online.

I had to give my credit card details to conform my identity (fair
enough).

But once subscribed, it's impossible to cancel without phoning them
(office hours only) - there is no way to cancel on their website.


Isn`t a great wheeze , selling people their own data, on subscription.

You can put in a statutory request for £2 , it dosen`t have the whizzy
graphics, but gives you an idea how inaccurate the data Experian hold
may be.

To get any idea of how inaccurate, you need the reference files from
all three agencies, they probably won`t match.....
