Comparing "Free" Credit Report and Score Offers

Saturday March 14, 2009

Speaking of free credit reports, I just received a press release about a site that compares free credit report offers. FreeCreditScoreQuick.com lists some a few websites offering free credit reports and scores. It also lists the trial period and service fee you'll be charged if you don't cancel the trial. When these sites give you a free credit report or score (or both) you must sign up for a trial service and you must enter a credit card number that can be charged if you forget to cancel the service.

Note, the site doesn't list annualcreditreport.com which allows you to order the free credit report granted to you under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. Unlike annualcreditreport.com which allows three free credit reports each year, other "free" credit report sites only allow you to receive one (to three) free credit report and score - ever.

I have used FreeCreditScoreQuick.com before and its a great site. I sent a e-mail to them asking why annualcreditreport.com is not on there site, and they replied saying they are actaully adding that site as a resource. One of the problems they mentioned about annualcreditreport.com is they dont provide any free trial credit score offer. You have to pay for that currently. This site also has very informative content about FREE credit repair. Netherless this is a great site for comparisons and getting your free credit report

I thought i would mention this.

Victoria.
