Get Your Free Credit Report
Everyone is allowed free access to their credit report from each of the three credit reporting bureaus once every 12 months. The three credit reporting bureaus are: Experian, Transunion, and Equifax.
TIP: If you have never pulled your credit report or have not done so in quite some time, we suggest that you pull all three reports at once. The following year stagger the requests throughout the year to keep an eye on the accuracy and completeness of the information in the reports.
Be prepared with the following information when obtaining a credit report:
- Full Name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- Current and previous address(es) for the last five years
- Daytime phone number
