Getting a Free Credit Report

Trying to find a free credit reports is not always an easy

task. A lot of the time, companies claim that their

reports are free, but only if input your credit card

information and sign up for future monthly

requirements. Never to worry! National Law requires

the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and

TransUnion) to offer people use of at least one free

credit report annually. This allows people to learn what

is on their credit report, if they are able to pay for a

report or not. Examining your credit report for errors is

vital because errors can restrict your ability to move

credit, purchase a home, get better rates of interest, and even get a job.

Credit Rating

Your free credit report will not have a credit score. If you'd

prefer to know very well what your scores are, then you can

either purchase a score from each one of the three credit

bureaus, or you can get your FICO score from our website.

Credit, or Fair Isaac Corporation, is just a company that uses

the data from each credit institution to determine your credit

rating. This is actually the standard score that a lot of

creditors use to ascertain your creditworthiness, but there are

other scoring models out there. The credit bureaus will often

provide their versions of a credit report, but these customer

results aren't entirely accurate and are often times inaccurate.

Since your FICO score is what most lenders use when

approving or denying you for credit, it is better to obtain your

FICO score if you decide to pay for your score.
