Equifax charging £1.50 extra to post credit file?

As the title says. Surely this is ridiculous. Wasn't the point of the £2.00 to cover this sort of thing to start with?

I don't want it visible online for 30 days, I want a physical copy of my report as implied.

Anyone heard of this yet?

I said *No. I am not paying extra over the stat. amount.* and put the phone down.

    Get it on line and print it out. Thats what I do. The print view is a lot different to the online version.

    dotdash thanks, but that was not my point. If I prefer it posted to me, then that should be what I get.

    Is it worth arguing over £1.50?

    I recently got my credit report. I downloaded the form from their website, printed it, filled it and posted it to the address provided along with a £2.00 cheque.

    Received the report by post in 5-7 days.

    Hope that helps

    Could you possibly post the link for the form to print please? I have tried getting my report online, but my card verification fails because of the address is written differently on their systems missing out the road name. It's becoming a headache trying to get my report from them. Thank you.

    Yes! IT DOES! Thank you!
    (and I know it may seem like I am being petty, but they are profiting from MY info and MY life and how I spend MY money, so I want my report as I want it as is required by law.)

    Exactly, especially when they want to charge you 75% more too.
