Free Credit Report and a free FICO score estimate – no CC required

January 28, 2012 · Posted in Free Credit Report · 1 Comment 

I am asked all the time where to get a Free Credit Report. All of the adds on television and the internet have confused most people. Where do I go to get a free credit report? Well, there is only one place to actually get a free credit report; it’s at www.annualcreditreport.com. Once you get your Free Credit Report, then you can go to the free FICO score estimator, enter the data from the free credit report and get an actual free FICO Score. This is the same score that mortgage lenders use to make a lending decision on a home. Go to www.myfico.com, enter the information from the free report and you will get your free FICO score.

    I got my free credit reports but how do I get my free credit score?

    March 20, 2011 · Posted in Free Credit Report · 5 Comments 

    I went to annualcreditreport.com and printed out my free credit reports from all three credit bureaus, but none of them have my credit score. All they contain is my credit summary and my past and present credit accounts.
    I would like to know my current credit score. Is it possible to get it for free? If so, how do I do it?

      Little known secrets for improving your credit score

      August 10, 2010 · Posted in Free Credit Report · 6 Comments 

      What’s the fastest way to raise your credit score? To quote the classic magazine salesman from the movie Office Space “That all depends”…

      While the removal of negative items from your credit report will almost always result in an increase in your credit score, there is a method that works better.

      Here’s why. Adding positive accounts is actually more effective at improving your credit score (in the short term) than removing negative ones. Unfortunately, few consumers or credit repair companies know this.

      One of the biggest problems with trying to get approved for new credit is that you need to “have” credit in order to be approved. This causes a sort of catch 22.

      How does one “get” credit if no one will give them credit because they don’t have any credit to begin with? A vicious cycle indeed, but a real one. However, if you have someone you can use a cosigner this is NOT a problem. Simply have them cosign on the new credit application for you. If you don’t have a cosigner, read on.

      Contrary to popular belief (or what myfico and credit repair companies would like you to believe), the largest factor in building a solid foundation for your credit score comes down to two credit scoring factors:

      1.) The “High Credit Limit”

      and

      2.) Your “Debt to Credit” Ratio

      Your high credit limit is simply the total amount of primary unsecured revolving credit lines you have (i.e. three credit cards at $5,000 each equals a high credit limit of $15,000).

      Get it? Good.

      Your debt to credit ratio is simply the amount owed on these cards in relation to your high credit limit (i.e. if your high credit limit was $15,000 and you owed $7500 your debt to credit ratio would be %50).

      Keep in mind, your high credit limit is comprised ONLY of your total amount of unsecured revolving lines of credit. Home mortgages, auto loans, student loans, equipment leases and debit cards do NOT count towards your high credit limit.

      A debt to credit ratio of 25% or less is ideal. Of course, there are many other factors which come into play, but keeping it simple, how does one improve credit score via increasing their high credit limit and lowering their debt to credit ratio?

      That is the question….

      The fastest way we have found is by adding primary user unsecured revolving lines of credit which are guaranteed approval (note: these are NOT authorized user accounts!). These are unsecured lines of credit which appear on your report just like a visa card, mastercard or department store card etc.

      We have found that while unsecured credit is the most difficult to obtain, it has proven to be the highest scoring on ones credit report. To find out the fastest we’ve found to add primary unsecured revolving lines of credit to your credit report, please visit:

      What information do you get from annualcreditreport.com?

      July 24, 2010 · Posted in Free Credit Report · 5 Comments 

      I would like to know my credit score. I have done some research and it looks like the only one the government endorses is annualcreditreport.com

      I was wondering, what information do you actually get? I have heard that you only get a general status like “good, fair, excellent” and not your actual credit score. Is this correct?

      If that’s right, where can you get your score without getting ripped off by one of the sites that require credit card info?

      I know you can get free credit reports from the three credit bureaus every year, but is this based on a calendar year or does it depend on the date which you requested them?

      For example, if I ordered all three on June 22nd, 2010, would I be able to order all three again on January 1st, 2011, or would I have to wait until June 22nd, 2011?

      Thanks for the help.

However, when I was starting to check some items in my first report, the library system crashed and I was unable to see my reports once it was fixed. If I try the annual credit report website today, am I going to be able to see at least the two reports I missed?

Do you have to actually buy your credit report to see everything that’s on it? I don’t want to have to buy it if all its going to show is what I have already seen on the free report.
