"GILLIAN, don't hide from your free Experian credit report"

Says today's load of aggressive spam from this supposedly reputable company.

For the record, I'm not hiding from it. I just don't want it any more since I found out they 'needed' my debit card details and a monthly payment setting up in order to give me this 'free' thing.

Pah. It's not credit anyway. It's debt. And I don't want to take on any debt, so why should I care whether they want to let me or not?

I think I might spam them back.

Tell me why.....

.... when I email my MP about something, does her secretary write back to ask for my postal address before they process my enquiry?

Obviously they want to check that I'm telling the truth about being a constituent. But why would I lie about it? And how do I know I can trust them with my postal address anyway?

It seems their position is: they don't trust me, but I have to trust them. Do they really work for us?
