    No.

    It's called data protection.

    .... and obtaining a credit report by giving a false declaration is a criminal offence.

    Hey Fortyfoot,

    If your friend needs to see his partners Credit Report then he should really speak to her..... As people have rightly said the data protection act will not allow somebody to see anyone elses report, quite handy really because I'd hate all and sundry being able to see mine.....

    But seriously he should speak to his partner. There's lots of people on here that have hidden problems only for it to esculate at a later date. In my experience if he thinks theres a problem then there probably is, in which case communication is key.

    I wish them Good luck.
