Free Annual Credit Reports - order yours

Want your free credit report? You can get a free copy of your credit report every year from each of the three (3) major credit reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. You get it right online, in seconds.

It’s worth checking your report. Look for accounts that you thought you had closed but which are still open. Wait! Before you close them too quickly, evaluate any impact that closing one or more of them might have on your credit score.

If you happen to go first to www.freecreditreport.com, be sure to read the “fine print.” It tells you that, if you want your free annual credit report (only), you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com

Too bad that the powers that engineered the free annual credit reports didn’t think a step ahead to the sharpies who would grab the domain name “freecreditreport” and take advantage of those who “think” they are in the right place for their free reports.

Read the fine print.
