How to get copy of credit report

samhuzz · 6 March 2010 at 10:02AM

Hello

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but does anyone know how I can get a copy of my credit report when I don't have a debit/credit card or cheque book? I'm not allowed one with my bank apparently

I am looking at making myself bankrupt and am not sure exactly what I owe and who to.

Thanks in advance

Sam

Send one of these with a two-quid postal order

You need to get a statutory report from each of the CRA - Experian, Equifax and Call Credit - each will cost £2. You can do it without card and cheque book but you will need to get each one a postal order.

Thanks very much I did look at this form but didn't see the part about sending a postal order! Doh!

They definitely don't seem to like people asking for the £2 reports as they they make it difficult to find the link.

Equifax is the best as they allow you to view the £2 report on line but experian insist on sending it via the post. Call credit are the worst as you have no way whatsoever of even applying online.

I wanted to order mine last night and it took 10 mins searching on google before I found a link to the Call Credit one.....they asked me to do a website survey too so I gave them the worst ratings on navigation and ease of use, its just an awful website in general though! Experian and Equifax were much easier to use and I could order them both online for delivery as I would much rather have the paper copy in my hand and I can file it easily then.

Thankyou sooo much for being so helpful.

:beer::)

I don't currently have a cheque book though as i do all my banking online, or pay for services by cash,
so never need to write cheques.

However will they accept the £2 payment in coins enclosed in the letter??

Or will i have to get a postal order for it?

Thanks

As Numpty Monkey told you over on your other post, you send cheque or a PO - never cash.
