Click on the link at the top of this page, Credit rating.

You have to sign up, but as long as you cancel, there is no charge, think it's a 30 day free trial.

You can sign through Pigsback or Quidco & get points.

(I have tried, but somehow they cannot prove my identity (experian) I've sent a snotty e-mail to try and sort them out)

Each of the companies have a form on their website where you can print it, fill out your details and send it to them with a cheque/ P.O for £2. They try to convince you to buy into a monitoring system for £x a month, but I write to them every six months and ask for a statatory copy of my credit report along with a £2 fee. Equifax were the quickest at replying, call credit took quite a while. The link to their forms can be hard to find - usually a little tiney weeney link at the bottom of their home page somewhere.
