Not many details available about this at this precise moment, but the 2nd June sees the launch of annualcreditreport.co.uk, from the Credit Reporting Agency, which promises to give away free credit reports to everyone.
Hopefully this will do away with the need to go to several different credit agencies such as Equifax and Experian.
One in three people who check their credit files find mistakes, so opening this information up to greater scrutiny will probably be a good thing.
