Thx

    They need your bank details to identify you.

    They need your debit card details to identify you as the person wanting to view their credit file.

    I have had Experian and Equifax free 30 days trials and got cashback through cashback sites and called up to cancel and have never been charged anything.

    You can also write to them for a copy of your report for £2

    These offer free credit checks. As stated, they need your bank details to confirm who you are.
