Equifax Website Has Really Annoyed Me!

Why has it taken me nearly half an hour to find the link to get my £2 credit report? (and no it's not because I'm a dunce 
)
Because all they are interested in is trying to sell you their bloody products to sign up and get charged £10 a sodding month for something that only has to cost me £2 a month! Greedy ba$tards! Listen, I'm in enough debt as it is, hence why I want my report, so why are you trying to make me worse off! :mad:
Sorry for the language and rant but they have really put my back up!

Don't worry though, it wouldn't have helped. You would simply get charged the £2 and sent a letter asking you to provide multiple original proofs of identity and address.
I'm fairly certain you'll get the "Instant Online" report they advertise if you pay the extra, without the hassle of sending original documents that would no doubt become lost in the post if you omit to sent them by recorded delivery.0 -
yes they did this to me too, funny becuase they did not do so the 2st time, only the 2nd time i got the £2 report....!!!!!! wrote:Don't worry though, it wouldn't have helped.

Dunno about that - Experian (creditexpert service) has had me sending loads of proof of ID to get on that site! A right pain in the behind if I do say so....

For future reference, there are direct links to ordering your £2 statutory reports from Martin's "credit rating" article (accessed from the blue box above)...southernscouser wrote:Why has it taken me nearly half an hour to find the link to get my £2 credit report?
