How To Get Your FICO Score
Posted by Tasha Lockyer
FICO credit scores are considered by many to be the "gold standard" of the credit score world. In fact, creditors often use FICO® Scores to help evaluate an individual's creditworthiness when they apply for a loan. If you're interested in seeing what your FICO® Score is, you can now purchase a one time access of your Equifax and/or TransUnion FICO® Score.
With FICO® Standard users get one credit score and report from Equifax or TransUnion. You'll also get an explanation of the positive and negative factors affecting your credit score. The Equifax and TransUnion information is sold separately, and each set of data costs $19.95. That means if you'd like both your Equifax and TransUnion FICO® Scores it will cost $39.90. At this point in time Experian does not allow the Experian FICO® Score to be sold to consumers (click here to learn why).
Although we think the FICO® Score system is great, if you think $39.90 for one-time scores is a bit steep or you want to know your Experian credit score, you might consider signing up for one of the free credit monitoring trials we review on NextAdvisor. These free trials often provide free 3-bureau credit scores, and although they aren't FICO scores they are still very useful for helping to evaluate your credit standing.

I just signed my husband up on Privacy Guard. After entering all his information, setting him up a user name. password and giving MY debit card info, I clicked sign me up and it just sent me right back to the sign up page so I tried logging in and it said user name or password incorrect. I contacted customer service to find out why it did this or IF it went thru and they would not even tell me if he was signed up. DO NOT USE THIS SIGHT…..UNDOUBTLY THEY WANT YOU TO GIVE THEM YOUR INFO THEN DO NOT SIGN YOU UP. SINCE THEY HAVE MY CARD INFO I NOW NOW HAVE TO CONTACT MY BANK. They wnat my husband to cantaact them after he gets off work, I told them they really don't want this he will be very p…. as I handled all our billing. would not recommend to anyone.
