WHERE TO GET FREE CREDIT REPORTS?

Years ago, obtaining a copy of your credit reports was not an easy process.

Nowadays, there are plenty of sites that offer free credit reports for all 3 credit bureaus as well as free credit scores and free credit monitoring.

Here is a list of a few places where you can get your free credit reports and free credit scores.

Annual Credit Report

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months.

The three credit bureaus have set up one central website, a toll-free telephone number, and a mailing address through which you can order your free credit report.

You may order your free annual credit report via any of the following means:

1. visit: www.annualcreditreport.com.

2. call: 1-877-322-8228

3. Print out the Free Credit Report Request Form, fill it out, and mail to the following address:
