How can I get a free copy of my credit report?
Q:
How can I get a free copy of my credit report?
A: You can get one free credit
report every twelve months from each of the nationwide credit
bureaus--Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion--by
- visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or
- calling (877) 322-8228.
You will need to provide certain
information to access your report, such as your name, address, Social
Security number, and date of birth.
You can order one, two, or all three
reports at the same time, or you can request these reports at 
various times
throughout the year. The option you choose will depend on the goal of your
review. A
report generated by one of the three major credit bureaus may
not contain all of the information pertaining to your credit history.
Therefore, if you want a complete view of your credit record at a particular
moment, you should examine your report from each bureau at the same time.
However, if you wish to detect errors and monitor changes in your credit
profile over time, you may wish to review a single credit report every four
months.
