Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 110 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers frequently praise the staff for being helpful, polite, and professional, often highlighting specific individuals who provided excellent support and clear explanations. Many found the customer service to be responsive and efficient, making them feel at ease and confident about their financial status or resolving their queries effectively. Reviewers often commend the patience and understanding shown by the customer care team when addressing complex problems and providing detailed advice. However, some people were dissatisfied with payment issues, reporting unexpected charges and money being debited from their accounts without clear prior notification. Many customers expressed frustration over what they perceived as hidden subscription charges, often unknowingly signing up for recurring monthly fees after a free trial. Some reviewers also noted issues with the service itself, such as being unable to use it as planned or not receiving clear information about subscription terms.

Highly reccomend

I had been struggling to understand why my score was so low although I was doing everything to improve it, after a 20 minute phonecall with an advisor gping through my report we were able to find out what was affecting my score that I had not been able to spot on my own. Highly reccomend!!

I didn’t sign up with them! Robbers

I didn’t sign up with them!! They took 1.5£ that I didn’t noticed on nov 2nd and 24.95£ after 15days. I couldn’t cancel online as I didn’t have my details BECAUSE I DIDNT SIGN UP so I had to call the help desk to cancel my subscription to be told I couldn’t get the 25.95 refund because the trial period of 15days had expired! 🤬🤬 how is this not fraud???

After initially being a little miffed at having had to sign up for a monthly charge after the free trial, Your telephone representative Michael made it clear that it was easy to cancel and a refund of my £1.50 charge made.He also gave me a comprehensive view of how your company operated and the fact that there may be nothing wrong with my credit score and the fact I have been refused 2 credit cards from my own bank!!!!!! ,may in fact just be down to me not being the customer they want for a particular card and they can refuse without offering any justification.Santander-The pits!!!!!

Don't subscribe - Avoid!!

I cancelled my membership before money was taken. Using the awkward cancellation procedure. Then I was charged.
Michael just cut me off on chat when I asked for my money back. Found him rude.

Edit: they have refunded me today, thanks

Dear Shezzington,


We’re sorry to learn that your recent experience with UK Credit Ratings has not lived up to your expectations.

Our account logs confirm that a debit for your subscription was taken on Saturday 28th September at 00.16, you then cancelled your account the same day at 08.51am using our simple online cancellation form, some eight hours after being charged.

Our customer support manager has audited the live chat you had with Michael, in line with other reviewers, we believe that Mike had interacted with you in a courteous and respectful manner at all times.

Live chats are a valuable means of interacting with customers, to ensure a high level of support can be provided to as many customers as possible. Live chats generally have a time out period should no response be received within a certain number of minutes.

We believe your live chat with Michael timed out at 5.50pm due to a period of inactivity following his response to your prior question. We apologise if you feel this displayed any form of unintended discourtesy.

Our website clearly describes the service we offer, the initial free trial period and subscription costs thereafter. All customers must positively agree to these through a series of tick boxes prior to their application being accepted and processed.

These details are further reiterated within a series of emails that we send to every customer at the very start of their free trial, providing a 14-day window in which to fully use the service and it’s benefits without limitation, and cancel without charge should the service not meet their expectations.

Customers cancelling within the fourteen-day free trial window avoid any unnecessary inconvenience or subscription charges.

We would like to invite you to contact our customer support manager directly should you require any further assistance who will do all they can to help. https://ukcreditratings.com/credit/contact

Warning - SUBSCRIPTION TRAP

The design of this service seems intended to guide users toward subscribing without providing clear or easily noticeable details about the associated costs.
The free trial is presented in a way that can lead to unexpected subscriptions, as important details about the future commitment are not made obvious. The methods used to present this information could easily cause users to inadvertently sign up for services without fully understanding what they're agreeing to.

Be aware!!!
Check and check again the initial sign up process!!!
I thought it was free initially and then thought I cancelled straight away , however a £24.95 charge the month after…
Of course customer service basically put it back on you as it’s all in the small print!
Who in this day and age would choose to pay out £25.95 a month for credit reporting?

Dear NM Preston,

We are unable to identify an account under your username, despite asking via Trustpilot for you to verify your identity, which you have declined.

We actively encourage you to contact our customer support team and provide us with an opportunity to address any aspect of the service you feel did not meet with your expectations.

We are disappointed that you have decided to provide a poor review of our services, simply as you ‘thought’ our service was free, and that you also ‘thought’ you had cancelled straight away.

Our website clearly describes the service we offer, the initial free trial period and subscription costs thereafter, you can also cancel your account online, via email, by telephone, SMS and WhatsApp, unfortunately, you have chosen not to utilise any of these options, hence, your account has continued past the initial free trial period.

Full details of our service are also reiterated within a series of emails we send to every customer at the very start of their free trial, providing a 14-day window in which to use the service and cancel should it not meet your expectations.

We look forward to providing our fullest assistance to you in due course.

'Free' ain't free (plus 'cancel' ain't cancel)

Took out the 'free' trial (spoiler alert - you pay £1.50, then have to go on safari to find the form to fill out to claim it back. The ASA will be very interested to see that definition of 'free'), cancelled it immediately via web chat, they still tried to charge me the full amount the following month, which incurred bank charges. Tried to explain this to the online chat people, who not only had to be explained to multiple times, then wouldn't even entertain the thought of putting things right, instead constantly referring me back to my bank. Absolute joke of an operation, preying on people's inertia and inattention.

So it says free trial but they charged me 1.50. Very bad experience. I paid anyway to find out my credit file and to my surprise. They have no credit file on me. How can that possibly be. There are ar more better credit agencies around.
