FREE CREDIT REPORTS:
You can get a free credit report from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) every 12 months. Some consumers elect to get a report from one of the three credit bureaus every four months, providing a staggered look at their credit status.
The official web site, www.annualcreditreport.com, is the ONLY authorized online source for you to get a free credit report under federal law. Some other sites claim to offer “free” reports but may charge you for another product if you accept the “free” report. You may also receive your free credit report by calling 1-877-322-8228.
