Q: What is the best way to receive my free credit report?
A: The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows you to receive one free credit report per year from AnnualCreditReport.com. Credit reports can be requested online or by phone. If you request a credit report online you will receive it immediately, but those requested by phone will take up to 15 days to be processed. Learn more more by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com.
If you would like to receive more frequent access to your credit report and credit monitoring that will alert you to any changes in your credit report as they occur, we suggest you consider a credit report monitoring service. Equifax with Score Power which offers monitoring of your credit reports with all three credit bureaus plus access to your Equifax credit reports and FICO score.
You can learn more about Equifax with Score Power and other credit report monitoring services by visiting our comparison of credit report monitoring services.
