Experian report - cheapest way to get online

Hi

Does anyone know the cheapest way to get this online? There seem to be two or three different sources and rates around for this. I am currently paying around £14.99 a month to get it online and this seems a lot.

Also, though less important, what's the cheapest way of getting the Equifax online report? I'm paying - I forget - 6.99 or 8.99 a month to get this too.

In the meantime, the Noddle report for Callcredit is free, of course.

Thank you
Zeds

    You must have money to burn, or at least had money to burn for a while. Both my water and electricity bills are cheaper than £25 a month!


    Why do you need constant access? Why not get them on an 'as and when required' basis?


    Anyway, I'm sure you'll find your answer(s) on their respective websites.


    Just don't waste (any more of your) money on the likes of checkmyfile etc, because these reports are not the same as you get by going direct to the CRA.

    You are paying at least £263.76 a year for this!

    if you must have monthly access pay £2 for your statutory report, you won't get instant access but you will still get a monthly report.

    I can't think of a reason though why you would need to check every month.
    All that glitters is not gold.

    He must live in his car if he's only paying £25 a month for water and electricity.
