Overview - Access Your 3 Credit Reports

Accessing your credit reports is a crucial step in maintaining your financial health. By law, you’re entitled to one free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) every 12 months. Here’s how you can obtain these reports:

1. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com

This is the official website authorized by federal law to provide free credit reports. Be wary of other sites that may charge you or require a subscription.

    2. Fill Out the Request Form

    You’ll need to provide personal information such as your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth to verify your identity.

      3. Select the Reports You Want

      You can request reports from one, two, or all three bureaus. It’s often wise to spread out your requests throughout the year to monitor your credit regularly.

        4. Answer Security Questions

        Each bureau may ask you specific questions about your financial history to verify your identity.

          5. View and Save Your Reports

          Once verified, you can view your reports online. It’s recommended to save or print them for your records.
