Your Credit Report

If you think you are a victim obtain a copy of your credit file, which costs from as little as £2, from one of the following credit reference agencies:

• Call Credit
  www.callcredit.co.uk
• Equifax
  www.equifax.co.uk
• Experian
  www.experian.co.uk

Look at your credit file in detail. If you find entries relating to organisations you do not normally deal with, contact them immediately. Keep a record of all your actions, including who you spoke to and when, and copies of letters sent and received. The credit reference agencies may be able to help you with this.
