I went on annualcreditreport.com and clicked on experian. credit report by itself is free but they charge for credit score. Should I pay to get the score aswell or just looking at credit report suffice?

Actually just get the free credit report.. then when you're done you can get the free credit score from myfico with 30-day trial monitoring. You'll find the promo link on page 2 of the article here that tells you how to improve your credit score: Good luck! http://millionster.com/articles/debt/ increase-fico-credit-score/

I want to know my FICO credit score for free, but none of the 3 major credit report companies (Equifax, Transunion, Experian) provide this info for free, only my good and bad (none) standings and balances. Is there a way I can get my FICO score for free? Maybe Attorney General Consumer Affairs or Consumer Protection? Please help. Thanks.

NO! the three give u a report of ur credit history... the score is always optional and they charge u for it... ALWAYS! unless you were denied credit and then u have the right to all!

I accessed Experian through www.annualcreditreport.com, which is supposed to be the only authorized site to go through, filled out Experian's on-line application and on the final screen there was only a graphic with the text "One Time Offer ? only Equifax offers your FICO score at the lowest price available... View your FICO credit score once with your credit disclosure request for just $7.95 (with a button saying ?See my score once?) / Get two in depth FICO score reports and stay updated on important changes to your score with Score Watch for just $7.95 per month. (a button saying ?Keep my updated on my score?) There was no indication of where to click to see the free credit score and no choice offered to have it mailed out. Is that normal? What happened here? Thanks! Laura

Annualcreditreport.com only supplies a credit report for free, you have to pay for a score. This is the government site that guarantees you a free credit report from each of the three bureaus (Experian, Transunion and Equifax) once a year. That's why you're getting offers from Equifax -- this website is not exclusive to Experian (maybe you're thinking of freecreditreport.com, which is Experian's credit website). If you want to get a free credit score, there ARE sites to go to for that. For instance, you can get a free credit report AND score every six months from Quizzle.com.You won't be signed up for some service you may not want and you won't receive a bunch of spam in your inbox. The credit report is supplied by Experian and is a full report.

show you your score for free?

I've gone to get my credit report online through experian but its telling me I have to pay for the actual score. I don't understand why.

They have to make money somehow!

I've already gotten my free credit reports from annualcreditreport.com but now I'm looking to monitor my credit score periodically from all three bureaus. I know that FICO is probably the biggest credit score service is their number that much different than what I'd get from the credit score source that Equifax, Experian and TransUnion use? I just don't want to pay so much more for nothing. If FICO says my Experian credit score is 700 and I go to Experian.com and their service says my score is 692, I don't see the difference. Thanks.

davidb196 is correct. I look at credit every day and sometimes see point spreads of 100-points between the three bureaus. This is because all lenders do not report to all three and some do not report at all. There is no reason to check all three credit bureau scores and FICO. It's a waste of your money.

Which website is the best one to go to to receive your once yearly free credit report, using the Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Are there any that include the FICO score? Thanks! Please don't recommend freecreditreport.com, they are not free!

There?s only one site: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/ index.jsp You get a list of what comprises each report, but not the numerical scores for each bureau or your total fico score. You have to pay for #s.

I am always having a hard time with Freecreditreport.com and others that give me either a FICO score and no report, or I get ONLY 1 report and then 2 months of $9.95 fees! Please help..I JUST want my report and FICO score from Equifax/Experian and TRW. Thanks in advance!

https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/ index.jsp Site set up by the big three credit reporting agencies in the United States, to furnish free annual credit reports, as required by federal law. You get your report for free once per year from all three major agencies. You have to pay for your FICO though. That's not free.
