Getting my UK credit report from abroad

Hi,

I am living in Spain and I want to get my UK credit report but am having difficulties setting anything up because it won't let me put my Spanish address in.

Any idea what I can do?

Many thanks

    You could see it online.
    If you wanted by post use your UK address and ask someone in that address to forward it to you in Spain.

    I don't live there- we don't own any property in the UK now. When i try to register with experian or the MSE group it won't take my Spanish postcode :(

    Have you got any family in the UK?
    Get the report set up in their address, I believe it's just a correspondence address rather than it being the address that they will check against.
