Noddle (credit report service)


Noddle was a credit report service offered by the British arm of TransUnion. In June 2011, 10,000 people were invited to test the service prior to its full launch later in 2011.
The service advertises that its clients are able to view a full credit report free for life, without the need to pay for similar services from rivals Equifax and Experian. Noddle charges for extra services such as Noddle Improve, which tells users how to improve their credit scores, and Noddle Web Watch, which scans websites looking for fraudulent uses of users' information and warning users about anything that appears awry.
If clients see any discrepancies in their reports, they have to dispute issues with the pertinent reference agency.
In November 2018, Credit Karma said it would acquire Noddle from TransUnion. At the time, the company had 35 employees and four million users. The acquisition closed in April 2019. The Noddle brand was replaced with the Credit Karma branding.
