Statutory credit report

Tiggy10

Hi All,

I want to get a statutory credit report, one of the £2 ones.
I was wondering where the best place to get one is?

I tried experian before moving out and it took 6 weeks to come (despite saying it would only take 2 weeks)

has any one had better luck else where or is this my only option?

Looks like bad luck. If you've already had an Experian one this year get an Equifax one this time and then Experian in 6 months. Sign up for Noddle (https://www.noddle.co.uk - it's free ongoing) too as it is a useful guide for seeing regular account updates but Experian and Equifax are the most important.

As long as they can verify its you, you can view the Equifax one online instantly.

As the Boss says, Noddle is good for routine checks as its free and seems to have all my accounts on it.

I tried to order an Equifax one and they said my payment method didnt work, i tried again and they said they couldnt verify me.
i concluded this was because I forgot to put myself on the electoral roll for my new address.

Turns out Equifax have taken £4 from my bank anyways!

Not good.

Best give them a call.

Use say no to 0870 to find a free alternative to the 0845 one.

Thank you! called them. they want me to send them documents to varify my self.
I really cba with the hassel when i know other providers will do it without.

They are refunding me in ten days!

I had this problem but I persevered and scanned the required id to them via the online link. I did stay on the phone till it was done though as I found the site very difficult to navigate :mad:

Probably worth the effort to get your report, as the next time it will be easier to get online if you need it

probably, I think i will try Experian again, they did it 7 or 8 months ago for me without having to send stuff off!

Failing that I will just go for sending the id.
