    Do you mean you want to order your credit report from one of the credit reference agencies but do not have a credit card?

    Experian allow you to purchase your statutory £2 report with a maestro card http://www.experian.co.uk/consumer/statutory-report.html

    You can use a Maestro card on the Experian website to either order a one-off credit report or to join the CreditExpert subscription service.

    Is it a 16 digit Maestro card (effectively a debit MasterCard) or one of the oddball ones that has an extra few digits?

    Hello There,


    May be this is not the right place for this for I do not know how else to get your attention.

    I have applied for my statutory report 5 days ago and since then raised 3 emails. Spoke to the only number (credit expert) you provide. But no one is willing to speak to me about the statutory report.However they wanted to sell their credit expert to me time and again.

    Strangely the second best CRA company also needed to verify the identity but they did it over the phone and email in 30 minutes I was able to see my file on-line.

    It seems to me, despite the Government directive to make it easier for consumers to access credit file, CRA companies like yours would do anything to manipulate the loophole.

    Money was taken away from card straight away but no pin number, no assurance etc.

    Can you please look into that for me?

    Best,
    A
