experian credit report

braun_2

I went through experian to get a £2 credit check... I wanted to check it before I put in an application for something.

I wanted it quickly so I selected the view online option, paid and awaited email. 2 days later I have received an email saying I have to wait up to a further 3 days for a letter in the post that has a pin code that I use to log in and access my statement :mad:

I haven't done it before and thought it would be almost instant.

I fill in a form and post it, then wait a week for it to arrive.

i also did the same thing as I needed it urgent. I'm not sure if I missed it saying i would have to wait for a letter - before I paid - or it only told me after.

It's done for security reasons. Otherwise anyone who knows your details could go online and look at your credit report.
