Experian

Hi there,

I'm trying to look at my credit file for the first time since early 2009. I've signed in but now it's asking me for a £14.99 fee. Is there a way of paying a couple of £ just to see my report without having the all singing all dancing membership? I think I read it somewhere on here but can't quite remember.

Thanks in advance

    You can send off by post for your credit files. Cost is £2.00. I'm sure the sticky has the addresses to send it to but if not you can go on their websites and get the address and information you need to include.

    Name
    DOB
    addresses for last 5 years
    etc

    Experian, Equifax and Call Credit

    As FYP has said you need all three reports, they are £2 each for paper/online copies.

    Click on blue links below:-

    Experian - Click here

    Equifax - Click here

    Callcredit - Click here
    NB: You can't order a paper copy online, they would rather you pay £12 don’t do that just print off the application form, P.O. for £2 and post this recorded delivery.

    I couldn't see anywhere on the site for a £2 report on experian so thanks for the info/links.
    Hubby's doesn't seem too bad on equifax, 5 not registered as settled, 3 of which look to be lloyds tsb debts that have been sold on to a DCA. Not 100% sure how to find out who the DCA is though to send letters to?:(

    I'm scared to look at mine but will do so when they activate my account.:eek:
