looking to attempt a purchase on a pre-forclosure not sure how

I tried to find the answer myself before posting but couldn't find the same situation. If it's easier to share with me a BP link then explain then please feel free. So I have been looking at Foreclosures and Pre-foreclosures for a chance to get a primary home at a discounted rate. I found one that had an eviction notice on the door and a for sale sign in the yard but no listing agent only a number. Long story short I found out this house was already bought back by the bank and not on the MLS yet because the listing agent hasn't gotten it ready to sell yet. My assumption is the listing price will not be near the price the bank paid for it but listed at a price similar to comps in the area (not what I want).

So this time I looked at pre-foreclosure. I used BP Marketplace  >  Find Foreclosure link.  I searched my area and found a house on there that says active pre-foreclosure.  I know the area it' in and think would be a great buy even though I didn't see any pics or know the exact address.  To get the exact address I have to register for a free trial and it's asking for my credit card info.  I'm always skeptical of free trials that ask for my credit card.  Does anyone know how I can find out the exact address of the house in pre-foreclosure?  I believe the next step would be getting in contact with the owners but I need an address for that.

If any one could provide some advice on how to find the address (free of charge or by paying). Or even if the advice is not to contact the owners.  I've never dealt with pre-foreclosures or foreclosures.

Thank you
