Did you know you are entitled to obtaining three copies of your credit reports from all three major credit bureaus once every twelve months? The Fair Credit Reporting Act made it possible for all consumers to gain insight into their credit situation at no charge utilizing the only authorized and reliable source - AnnualCreditReport.com. The website offers credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To get your free credit reports, you will need to provide your personal information, including social security, legal names, address, and date of birth - all necessary to identify you correctly.
In case you have been denied credit or loan for any reason, you may also request a copy of your credit report to see what information impacted the lender’s decision. After receiving your adverse action letter, which contains the credit bureau information, you have 60 days to request the report for your overview.
