Get a Free Credit Score, No Credit Card Required

Monday May 11, 2009

Offers for free credit scores are all over the internet. Unfortunately, most of these offers are from websites that want you to sign up for a trial subscription to a credit monitoring service. You must enter your credit card information and if you don't remember to cancel the trial, your credit card will be charged. Some consumers have even reported difficulty canceling these trials and even continuing to be charged after the trial has ended.

CreditKarma.com has partnered with TransUnion and advertisers to offer you a completely free credit score with no strings attached. I've been using Credit Karma since September and I've never had to pay for a credit score or enter a credit card number. Check out my Credit Karma review to see what I liked and disliked about the free service. After you've used Credit Karma to get your free credit score, leave your own review.

(15) Pilar says:

When the site says that it can’t validate your info try using a past address. That worked for me.

I use credit karma all the time for me and my husband and we have never had any problems out of it.

(17) Kevin says:

I have searched everywhere on the net for a site but everyone once to charche just to get you credit score. I did try karma but that was a joke. It wouldnt even give me my score because the personal info I put in didnt exist. I think I do know what my ss# and address is and my birthdate but nothing matched their records. And belive me I am in the system.
