    I have now signed up to Experian's Credit Expert (for me as a person) and also a 3-month trial of Experian's My Business Report for the company.

    The latter seems a bit useless as it doesn't tell me if anyone tried to open a new bank account in the company's name, like Credit Expert does.

      Maybe that's because no-one has tried to do that?

      EDIT: CreditKarma.co.uk is free, no need to pay for Credit Expert if you just want the ability to quickly check your personal credit report.

        No they have. See my comment from a few hours ago.

          Have they actually set up an account in your company's name though? It's possible, yes, but it's also possible to set up a direct debit to any account and have the contract in yourCo's name.

            This may also be a useful resource for getting free access to your company credit score (detailed reports still have to be paid for)

              Yes. In the DD notification letter it clearly shows the account name as my company's name.
