Where do you go to check your credit scores for free?

[MiniMe]

I know you can get them free once a year, just don't remember where. Thanks in advance

7. I just need to verify the street name of your mother's first grade teacher

I get my credit monitoring for free because of several recent hacks.

6. Thanks, I know there are a few fake ones that are close to that name too.

Knew one of my DU peeps could help me out.

8. Stay away from "Free Credit Report" .com

Bad reviews...

9. You can get all three at once, or space them out over the year

I like to space them out, though I often forget to do it...

3. You can also sign up for CreditKarma.com

It's a good site. Also free

5. I highly recommend creditkarma.com

They update two of the three major reporting agencies every week. And its free. Ive been using it for years. I love it.

10. Another vote for creditkarma.com

If you see something on there that's not correct you can let them know and they will help you get it fixed. They will check your scores with TransUnion and Equifax. If there's a difference between the two just tell them about it and they'll help you get it fixed.

11. My bank and one of my credit cards offers this

Yes BTW stay away from anyone who advertises on TV etc. Where do you think they get their revenue?
ETA WF bank (their mobile app offers instant FICO) and Chase Freedom

12. Credit Karma is an estimate of your score, not your actual score. nt

13. Thanks. Every credit check affects your credit, no?

16. If you pull your credit report, it does not affect your score

If a bank, car finance office, mortgage broker, etc. pulls your credit report, it can affect your score. Many credit pulls in the last 2 years = lower score.

14. Here:

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action

I wouldn't trust any other site like "freecreditreport" or "CreditKarma." The FTC linked directly to the site I just provided.

15. Try Credit Karma. You can check your credit

scores at any time, no cost to you.

17. AnnualCreditReport.com

Is the official site for for free credit reports. You can get a two of your three credit scores (Equifax and TU) from CreditKarma.com.

No strings, but they will offer you the opportunity to sign up for new cards. Avoid the temptation.
