Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This company initiall charged me £29.95 without my knowing and as soon as I found out I cancelled my membership and also called my credit card company. The credit card company contacted them and confirmed my cancellation but the following two months another £29.95 twice was taken. I am now in the process of disputing these charges.
This company quickcreditscore.co.uk do not offer any service apart from scamming your credit card out of money. This is a rip off scam company and should be reported to the trading standards. None of their e-mails give you any responses back. Warning: do not have any dealings with this website or company

I have had £19.95 taken out of my account for the last 4 months without permission. This is money that was taken from my esa. I have spoken to my bank and they said to get in touch with this company. I want all that money refunded NOW or i will take this matter higher. Stupid credit score companies think they can rip people off by telling them its free to check your credit score then take money out of your account without permission. I will take this matter to the polise. media, courts etc. etc if i have to and get this useless company to refund every customer they have ripped off and get them shut down

i applied for the free trial and did not sign for monthly credit scoring-my bank account has been debited £29.95/99 which i did not want or authorise! i want this refunding and my account cancelling which i did not want in the first place if this is not done i will be seeking advisement from a solicitor and sending an e-mail to watchdog asking them to investigate - i just wunder how many other people your company has done this to and it needs to stop!

Very dubious marketing techniques led to me being charged £19.95 even though I emailed the company to remove all details of mine from their database. the company cancelled my 'membership' once I called to complain but refused to refund the payment taken as apparently they think it's fair to keep it anyway. - Steer well clear of this company and their website - they may operate legally but they obviously have very low moral standards.

This is a con site. Pretends to be www.callcredit.co.uk offering free limited time Callcredit Credit Score and Credit Report and Quick Credit Score account. Takes your credit card details and charges an initial £0.10. Got wise and cancelled more or less straight away but had to cancel credit card which is a pain. Linked to www.rewardsnow.co.uk which is another scam. Informed callcredit.co.uk but low interest as e-mail says a reply will be forthcoming in about 28 days! You cannot link to the site or get through on the telephone to cancel! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

My situation with this company are as follows: Total payment of £44.85, of 3 payments of £14.95 for a credit report I couldn't gain access to. Several cancellation emails to their website email address, have resulted in the following response:

contact@quickcreditscore.co.uk
to me

--------------------------------
[Insert your auto response here]
--------------------------------

I haven't yet been stung by the rewards program of £19.95, however, I have looked in to some key legislation, and some key points of call to which people may be able to hold this business accountable to unlawful operating practices under several EU directives, and UK legislation, such as the Trade Descriptions Act, and the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive.

You, firstly, will need to make a formal submission to Consumer Direct. Website being: https://secure.consumerdirect.gov.uk/reportascam.aspx

Also, another point of call, is lodging complaints with the Financial Services Authority by calling: [protected]

Signing up to a credit report, is certainly misleading when you are lead to the following companies, and subsequent payments to them:

Registered Name Adaptive Affinity Limited 12/10/2009
Trading Name Biz Maxx Gold 08/06/2010
Trading Name Credit Confidential 08/06/2010
Trading Name Credit Rate Matters 08/06/2010
Trading Name High Credit Score 08/06/2010
Trading Name Premier Club 08/06/2010
Trading Name Privacy Counts 08/06/2010
Trading Name Quick Credit Score 08/06/2010
Trading Name Reset Credit Score 08/06/2010
Trading Name Rewards First 08/06/2010
Trading Name Rewards Now 08/06/2010
Trading Name VP Rewards 08/06/2010

Definately think some kind of action will result against this company, but we need strength in numbers. So lets all get on it guys.

I put my details in, stupidly yes I know! thinking I would then see my credit report?! and could correct items I needed to...however I had to ring them to get my membership no/ which i couldn't login with, as there is no where on site to login without reregistering! hence more payment and card details needed! when I recieved a letter from them saying they did not have enough info on me I thought that was it. They couldn't provide a report for me. BUT 14.95 was taken from my account- even tho they didn't provide the report. They claim when i rang that they needed more info. ie a bank statement/credit card statement/driving licence etc.. to verify me. well if the report is able to be seen for free within the 10 days and you also have to send in more info via post or fax? i guess if you have it. then wellgood luck in being able to get to see yourreport for free! The only other place I have got a report from was Experian and paid 2.00. It was sent no hassle about a month later. sorted so go there if you need one. Which iswhere I should've gone last time! serves me right for trying to save a few pounds! Go to where u know is trusted and safe! use ur internet wisely guys!

I have never even heard of this company until i checked my online bank statement and noticed two charges of £14.95 taken two days apart, i immediatley rang them and was told that i had registered online two month previous to these charges been taken and they had sent me numerous emails and letters, none of which i had recieved, they couldnt tell me the addresse the letters had been sent to or when the emails were sent, i asked to speak to a manager and was told i couldnt, then they told me they would give me my login details and password to log in to the account, which i told them i wouldnt do as i had never logged in before and didnt want it showing up on there system that i had, they wouldnt tell me my own addresse but would happily give out account details? This company is a total scam! Avoid them like the plague and report them!

my partner has had 2 monthly payments of £19.95 taken from her account and she is upset as it is her benefit money and has left her very short she is proceeding claims via the bank and her solicitor and wants this money to be debited back into her account as A..S.A.P as she is really not happy as neither myself or my partner have signed up for this!

i went on this site for the advertised free credit score. it said i had so many days in which to cancel to avoid future monthly charges. i have been unable to do this, as the site wont accept my number and postcode to log in, an d when i phone the given phone number it gives a continuous dialling tone suggesting it is out of use. i have already had 1 lot of £19.95 taken from my bank and the next is 'due' next week. what do i do?

I have also been the subject of this company & have £19.95 stolen from my account without my authority. I also received a charge from another company called Rewardsnow.co.uk for £19.95 after being given my account details by quickcredit score. I cancelled my membership but seem to b unable 2 get it re-inbursed. If anyone has had the same experience i would appreciate an email bobbazely@hotmail.co.uk

i answered an invitation to try out a FREE credit score. I receeved no paperwork or notification but have found out that £24.95 is being taken from my bank account every month. The only way i can stop this is by closing my account and opening a new one. This means i have to contact five outgoing debits and eight incomeing credits ... nightmare.

I am so angry that I have so stupid not checking my statements as they have been taking £29.95 for almost 2 years. I thought it was a bill that I was paying for and my partner was the one who noticed it. I am so livid and upset that people could be this cruel. I will be reporting this to many officials who can try and help us get our money back and do believe the police, governmentt etc should get involved as quiteobviouslyy this is a massive scam and they need to be stopped asap.
