Free Credit Report: Credit Report 101 Print E-mail

Under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) consumers can request and obtain a free credit report once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer credit reporting companies - Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion.

 

By Federal law, you are entitled to one free credit report per year directly from a credit-reporting agency only if you certify that:

 

  • You are unemployed and seeking employment in the next 60 days.

  • You are receiving public assistance.

  • You believe there are inaccuracies in your credit report due to fraud

  • Also if you have been denied credit on the basis of information in a credit report, you are entitled to a free copy of your credit report from the credit bureau that supplied the credit report.

Obtaining Free Credit Report

You can request you free credit report from a web site AnnualCreditReport.com, by calling a toll free number, or by requesting it in writing. This website was created by the credit bureaus.

 

The toll free number is (877)-322-8228, which is also (877)-FTC-HELP if that's easier to remember. The address to write to is Annual Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA., 30348-5281.

 

You will not be asked to sign up for a trial subscription for a credit monitoring service after requesting your credit report.

30 Days Free Trail Membership

By law, each consumer is entitled to one free credit report each year. Although reports are free, consumer may have to pay a few bucks to view their credit score.

 

Despite this incentive to encourage credit report monitoring, many people neglect to review the contents of their report. This results in millions becoming victims of identity theft each year. Free credit reports are available online, and viewable for up to 30 days.

 

Another way of obtaining free credit report is by signing up for a trial membership in a credit monitoring service. You can cancel the membership before the free trial period is up.

 

If you keep the service however, it will keep you updated on your credit, particularly new entries, and updates from creditors.
