You are entitled to your credit report free!

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – to provide you with a free copy

of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. A credit report includes information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy.

The national credit reporting companies have established a Central Source through which you request the statutory free annual credit file disclosures. You may order your reports from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting companies at the same time, or you can order your report from each of the  companies one at a time.

AnnualCreditReport.com is the centralized service for consumers to request annual credit reports.
