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

It's true. And if you call them they'll say they're a business but they're fraudsters. I was surprised when I started getting billed from a company I hadn't even heard of. Apparently I had signed up using a different service (part of the same company) and they had passed on the details of my credit card to this quickcreditscore site. Anyway I cancelled it again after the first payment came out and also sent an email back to them requesting them to put the money back in otherwise I would contact the bank. Then I was even more surprised when a second payment came out for another £19.95! Called them and they said they didn't receive an email. Haha. Just called the bank who had heard of this "company" and were sounding a little pissed off with them as well and they said we'll get the money back from them. Problem solved (hopefully)!

Just had £19.95 taken from my account twice by quickcreditscore as I had apparently signed up for their "membership"! No hope of getting my money back but have cancelled "membership" with immediate effect. I have put it down to another bad experience but in this day and age to exploit innocent people in this way is outrageous!

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.

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.

Sorry for my lazyness just I don't want to type a lot since my hands hurt. Anyways, here is what I said to another person with the same problem.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you were scammed I guess by freecreditreport.com or in your case one based in the UK? Typical. Even though I haven't, there was this video or documentary I saw about what to do about credit score and junk. It said that NEVER go to freecreditreport.com or any other company that gets the all 3 report. Even though you pay more, you go directly to Equifax and the other 2 and pay the $15 separate to a total of $45. It says that otherwise you will ended up being scammed by free credit or any other "all 3 firm". Hope this was use to you so that way you can get an accurate credit score without the scams of a monotonous scam artist. Sorry if the big 3 credit bureaus aren't in the UK but I hope you can find some sort of way to find a big 3 in UK.

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!

I saw this advert while I was e mailing. (How come the website allows this company to advertise?)
I gave my bank details ( have learnt to be totally cautious in future!) but got no reply of any kind and thought I had failed to register and forgot about it. I noticed a couple of months later that they were taking money from my account.
I emailed them and pointed out that they had never given me a service of any kind and certainly not any way of accessing their service.
They agreed to cancel my subscription but refused to refund any money. I t˙en sent them a registered letter saying I would be taking them to the small claims court and pointing out they would need to appear in Leeds (where I live) and that I would be producing to the court prints form the QCS scam website. They wrote back immediately and agreed to pay back all my money, which they have now done!

quickcreditscore.co.uk were charging me £19.95 every month from my debit card and i do not have any idea. I was shocked when i realised it was since last five months. This site is totally fraud and be aware to every one . this is totally fraud and scam to the public and the government and bank is aware of this but is not doing anything and they just need a commission and tax.

Yup, I've just noticed £19.95 x 2 charges in June a nd 1 x £19.95 in May charged and I don't know who these people are, I certainly haven't requested anything from them, I don't think I've even been on their website.
I've called them and they answered and 'cancelled' my subscription, the bloke there said his name was Germain Hussain, I don't believe that's his real name for a moment.
I've also cancelled my credit card and got another one.
Isn't anyone going to do something about this.
It's the small claims court for this one too.

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!

Quickcreditscore is fraud company and it's frustrating that their victims has nowhere to seek for help. I just checked bank statement and noticed that a direct debit has been set up "quickcreditscore" without my knowledge and they have been taking 14.95bps from my account for more than 4 months. I called their office to complained and was told my name was not on their database that I should mail my card no to them. What worries me is how do they get my bank details as I have never had any transaction with them. Can anyone advice me on what to do to get back my money from "Quickcreditscore"?

Something needs to be done about this company.I have been scammed out of 100 pounds in total coming out of my account and when I complained to my bank LLoyds they basically told me it was my fault and I must phone Quickcreditscore and cancel .I initially from a pop up enquired about my credit rating and paid for it not realising it was actually a subscription service. What also points towards dishonesty is that you get absolutely no communication from this company once you enquire. This really needs to be investigated does anyone have the name of an agency that investigates this type of scam

I can't believe that in 2 months this company have debited 14.95pds each from my account. I have called them to let them know that i sent them a mail to cancel my membership the same day which i got a reply to and asked for a refund. They said that they don't have the reply on their data and i won't be refinded. I am so furious and astonished because they are misleading and Scam. Its so annoying that i deleted their reply but i have the mail i sent to them because i am willing to sue them. I have just ordered my bank to stop them and if this repeats again, God help them.
