UK Credit Report

Hey,
Just wondering if someone can advise. My husband and I have been approved a mortgage in principal but as my husband is Scottish we need to get a UK credit report. He has been living in Ireland permanently since 2005. The bank advised to go through Experian but it is a nightmare- phoned Irish branch but was told I need to use UK branch-but they dont take phonecalls if you dont have an account with them and I was wondering if anyone could advise of any other companies that we can get a UK credit report with? Also does anyone have any idea how long it takes to get one? I have been asking my husband to do this since November and our approval in principle runs out now in the middle of February and we have just found a house and would like to get the credit report asap.
If anyone could please advise it would be much appreciated.
Thanks a million

I had to get one around about October.

I looked at both Experian and Equifax, and as far as I know I went with the latter.

My bank was happy with the £2 online report. This is about 20 pages long and you can get it printed off yourself. You have access to it for approx 1 month I think after you pay for it.

There are more expensive options but the £2 might be ok.

If you need any more information, get back to me and I'll see if I have any emails saved from them.

What did you put in for the postcode online? Did you use a UK address or your Irish one? Going to try Equifax online now-thanks for the reply

Hi RMCF

I am trying to get a credit report from my time in UK but like Laobhise having trouble getting it online. Can you let me know what postcode you used or how you got it online?

many thanks
