Understanding Your Credit Score with Checkmyfile

Checkmyfile calculates a unique credit score by combining data from the three credit agencies. This score is an average of the individual scores provided by each agency, offering a balanced view of your creditworthiness.

Cost and Subscription Details

Our free-to-use link gives you access to a 30-day free trial. After your free trial, Checkmyfile costs £14.99 per month. This subscription provides ongoing access to your detailed credit report and updates, allowing you to monitor changes in your credit status over time.

How to Cancel Your Checkmyfile Subscription

Cancelling your Checkmyfile subscription is simple and can be done through their website. Log in, navigate to account settings, and follow the prompts to cancel your service with ease.

Does Using Checkmyfile Affect Your Credit Score?

Using Checkmyfile does not affect your credit score. The service performs a ‘soft search’ to gather your credit information, which is invisible to lenders and does not influence your credit rating.

Soft Search vs. Hard Search

• Soft Search: A background check that does not affect your credit score, used by Checkmyfile to gather your credit information.
• Hard Search: Conducted by lenders when you apply for credit, too many hard searches can impact your credit score.

Is Checkmyfile Worth the Monthly Fee?

Whether Checkmyfile is worth the monthly subscription depends on your individual needs. If you’re actively managing your credit, preparing for a mortgage application, or need to monitor your credit regularly, the service offers valuable insights and updates. With our 30-day free trial, you can test the service to see if it’s right for you.

Comparing Checkmyfile with Other Credit Agencies

Checkmyfile provides a more comprehensive report than single-agency services by combining data from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This multi-agency approach offers a broader view of your credit history, making it a more valuable tool than other alternatives.
