HELP- How can I check my credit report without a debit card?

purple.sarah

Hi, I hope you can help. I want to check my credit report but experian and equifax etc need a debit card number even for a free trial to "verify your identity". I just have a basic bank account with a cash card but no debit card. My partner and I use his debit card to buy things online etc but that would be no good to verify my identity! So how can I check my credit report without a debit card?

prepaid cards seem to work with Equifax

Think you can order your statutory report (£2) via post using a cheque or postal order.

Not an answer to your immediate question but are you aware that most banks' Basic Bank Accounts now offer a "debit card" rather than a "cash card"? The notable exceptions being HSBC and Santander. Info here...

Try giving them a prepaid debit card number such as the o2 money card.
