I heard Clark Howard say that this is the only website that is authentic when the states passed the law that every person was allowed a free copy of their credit report. You still have to pay for your credit score (your option to get it or not), and only some states allow for the asking of a credit file disclosure... but anyway, I wanted all of you to have access to this important information that belongs to you, despite what the three credit companies desire.
AnnualCreditReport At this time, my area is unavailable (until September). I have no idea why it is taking so long to get implemented. [ 06-10-2005, 03:23 PM: Message edited by: Larry_OHF ]

Yeah, my mom told me to check out Howard's website and I ordered mine already. I was able to order the Equifax via automated phone prompt service, Transunion gave me theirs immediately online, but for some reason (that they refuse to disclose to me online because they "know how important my privacy is to me"...whatever), I have to request Experian's in writing via mail.
My mom then went online the same evening and got all of hers and we're about to get hubby's. I lucked out in that it just became available in my "region" June 1st. |

Must be the other way 'round VulcanRider.
I'm east of the 'Sippi and my area is available as of June 1. I'd have to recheck the site, but I also seem to remember (but may be remembering incorrectly) that they had the country divided into four sections and that every three months, another section was able to get their reports... Edit...just checked. If you click the link in Larry's post, it goes right to a page which shows: Western States: December 1, 2004 Midwest States: March 1, 2005 Southern States: June 1, 2005 Eastern States (& all US Territories): September 1, 2005 Pretty cool that they're finally making this a bit easier for those of us who want to keep an eye on our credit.

It is great advice to watch out for dozens and dozens look-alike sites, some run by the credit bureaus, that try to get you to pay for what is free. You can call or get yours by mail as well.
