Wonder how long you will have access to it though before you have to pay another £2 for an updated one

Or will it be ongoing access?

their goes their £6 a month rip off, or however much it costs these days. Bet they will limit it to 1 every 12 months

Here's a link to the Equifax online statutory credit report.

Go through quidco to get £5 back too!

Think Quidco is for the monthly cost one (although free for the first month)

The £2 one must have some kind of end date

So that if you want to see it again at a later date like the paper one(when its updated you have to pay £2 again

immoral_angeluk

Nope.. says the free report. You get £7.70 for the monthly one...

This is handy, we did credit calen up for dates etc when we finished IVA. Was handy to just check info again and only £2 for each person.

Valid to see online for 30 days so will print off for reference.

immoral_angeluk, neither of those is for the £2 statutory credit report.

The free report refers to the first free month of the first subscription signup for the monthly report. £7.70 is for a year's signup that you can't just cancel after a month or two. Neither of these will let you make a profit on the £2 statutory credit report because that's not what they deliver.
