Free Equifax statutory credit report until April 6

The_Boss

Hi all,

This is in the credit file forum but figured it may help people here that may not have seen it.

You can obtain a free Equifax statutory credit report via the below link, saving £2. This works even if you have registered with them previously (I hadn't logged into mine for nearly a year). I viewed my statutory report online and saved as a pdf (opens with Adobe Acrobat) onto my computer - this is good for printing, but the web view was better to go through on screen in my opinion.

Will help people see what is on their credit file though I also recommend getting the Experian £2 statutory report too (remember - don't pay any attention to the pointless 'scores' products they try to sell.

I think the link is broken, it takes me to error page.

I didn't see one on the first few pages of this board and being on the first page provides the most impact.

*Bumpty bump* - can't have this being the least thanked thread ever in this forum either

Yeah, this is the thing - if you are paying for the existing monthly subscription (which to be honest is not really needed) then it doesnt' help.

But if you are a former customer you can use it. I've tried using Experian one month trials in recent years and have not been able to because I used to have the online subscription with them donkeys years ago. So full marks to Equifax for at least having it available to all.

It won't let me use it-I had the free trial several years ago-about 6 years-it won't let me use the code and it won't let me register again as it says I am already a customer.]

Edited to say I rang and he processed it for me manually.

Interesting - I've had free trials before and I was fine.

The unmentionable people wont let you use the code if you have previously had a trial.
