Want FREE Credit Reports From The Big Three?
Want to check to make sure there isn't any thing funky on your credit report with no strings? I just got done with this myself. It's free once a year and isn't one of those BS pages that wants you to sign up for a 30 day gig and give them a credit card. It's all free! Just click here, it only takes a minutes or so to get the ball rolling.

Did you actually get a score without paying? I looked at my credit history a week or two back and everything is clear. But I am curious as to my score but am not willing to pay (or sign up for something that needs canceled) for it.

I just got free reports from all three of them. Nothing out of right field sprang out, but it's always wise to check. It is also your legal right to check your credit free once a year and this is a great place to do it.
Score....I know I have a very good one so I don't need to know the exact number.

Mine should be pretty high too. The curiosity in me though wonders exactly how high. But then again, you don't get good credit by blowing money to find out how high of a score you have. I know this, the bank never hesitated for a second to approve us for a loan and the loan officer told us we get A LOT more than what we were asking for. 'Course, we were asking for the most that our monthly budget would allow us to pay at that point so I would hate to see how much we could have gotten loaded down with.

As a financial education writer and 800+ credit score person ...

1. For the past two years, getting one from TransUnion is damn near impossible. 2. The old credit scoring model is being replaced with one that makes sense (based on a 1,000 point scale, rather than the ridiculous one they use now which makes no sense to anyone except the geek who created it). Still, Bwana's point stands: It's vital that EVERYONE get a copy of their report. You never know what the hell they put on it (I had a bunch of stuff from my sister ... which is not a good thing).

I don't understand what is so top secret about credit reports. I think everybody should have the right to know their credit report. Personally, I find it hilarious that people actually have bad credit. I never have bought anything I couldn't afford. I charge EVERYTHING to my credit card since I was 16 years old. My credit card bill usually racks up about 1500 a month and I've NEVER paid interest on it. Just pay it off in time, if you can't, don't buy all that shit you don't need.
I also was paying a loan off on my car under my name, but my dad just paid me for it in hs to up my credit. That was a great idea, if you buy a car for your kids in college, I suggest you do that. Now I have perfect credit but I don't think I'm the person to use it the way most people would. I'm never going to buy a car where I have to pay interest. The next car I buy, I'm going to buy it in cash, and the next one, and the next one. I'm just going to save my money up until I'm 30, and buy a house with cash. I see no point in paying interest on something you can't buy..unless it's student loans. ![]() |

I just got offered a free credit protection. It appears that my former employer of 15 years ago had an employee's laptop in their car that got stolen, and it had some of my personal information on it. Yippee!
