2. You can get a free credit report over the internet or by writing the credit bureau however, for the score itself there is a minimal fee.
3. You can't. You can get a copy of your credit report once a year for free, but to get the credit score, you have to pay. Even when you sign up for a "free credit report and score", strings attached, you don't get your score unless you subscribe, pay.............I don't think this is fair and the fact is this should be changed. But it will take a lot of people to change it. They are using this "score" to determine what our reputation is worthy of , credit wise. It has an affect on anyone who inquires on us to loan money and so forth, yet we are unable to find out what it is, without paying? Not right.............
4. You can get a free credit report from www.freecreditreport.com, but you have to MAKE SURE you write down the cancellation instructions and follow them by the specified deadline, or you will be charged. (I'm a member of www.freecreditreport.com) If you haven't already gotten a credit score or report this year, the bureaus will give you ONE for free per year (w/o having to order or cancel anything). You can call to order one at one of the phone numbers below. Equifax (800-685-1111); Experian (888-397-3742); or Trans Union (800-888-4213).
5. You can not get a free SCORE, only a free report. And where you get it from is important, since several sources do not use the FICO scoring method. Be sure to check what you are getting. Best to go to the source...
