Hi, how do i get a credit report if i am not living in Britain at the moment. I am currently travelling and therefore do not have a fixed address in the uk but I need to look back into my credit history.
Does anyone have any ideas, all the credit websites seem to need a current address.
Help much appreciated
Thanks

    Hi

    I suspect you will not be able to get one. I would advise you to email Equifax & Experian to explain the issue and see if they have any suggestions.

    I agree with Tixy on this, they need current details to verify who you are.

    Even with ringing up you may find it difficult as you will need to send them identity documents.
    Im unsure but you maybe able to do it via proxy if there is someone you know in the UK, atleast to keep your identity documents safer than travelling around the world if your moving about.
