About Free Credit Report

A free credit report allows you to view your credit history. The free credit report will contain reports of each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies — Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Most free credit reports will not give you your credit score.

A credit report will allow you to view your credit history and personal information. The purpose is for the owner to spot discrepancies and catch any fraud or unauthorized activity. Monitoring your credit reports is the best way to catch identity theft before it goes too far.

In 2003 an amendment was added to the Fair Credit Transactions Act stating that all consumers were eligible to receive one free credit report per year. This free report can be received by going to the government-authorized website, annualcreditreport.com or by calling 877-322-8228. There are many other sites that offer free credit reports but often they come with a catch that requires you to buy something or enter your credit card number.
