3 free credit scores

(Click the button above to see your credit scores for free)

Your credit scores are very important. Yes, I did say credit scores. You actually have 3 different credit scores from the 3 major credit reporting bureaus – Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. They each have a separate formula for computing your credit score.

They each have different information about your credit so they will each come up with a different credit score. They can vary by as much as 50 points or more. That could be the difference from a good credit score and a low interest credit card rate or auto loan and an average credit score and a high interest credit card rate or auto loan.

Just as it is important to get your free annual credit reports from the government’s program, it is also important to check all 3 credit scores.

But on the major credit score sites like Myfico, you have to pay $14.95 just for one FICO credit score.

A better option that can save you some money is to get a free trial to a credit monitoring service and get all 3 credit scores absolutely free.

Factors contributing to someone's credit score...

You can get a detailed analysis showing exactly what factors are affecting your scores. You can get alerts whenever anything changes to your credit reports. This will keep you aware of any possible identity theft attempts.

And if you decide the credit monitoring service is not for you, you can cancel within 30 days and never be billed anything.

Your credit scores affect so much of your financial life that it is imperative that you monitor them regularly. Your scores from the 3 major credit reporting agencies can determine whether you get a job or not, if you get approved for a home loan, what rates you pay for auto, home, and renters insurance, and all your loan rates.

You are flying in the dark not knowing how good your credit is. Or how bad it is. Or you could be average and need to improve your scores to get a better rate or even qualify. But you won’t know what you need to do without your credit scores. Checking all 3 scores will give you a complete picture of your creditworthiness.

Check out the free offer for all your scores and learn more about the $1,000,000 in Identity Theft insurance in case your identity ever gets stolen. This extra service will ensure your information is safe from thieves and scam artists.

Please review this and let me know what you think? :)?

September 14th, 2011 by admin | 4 Comments | Filed in 3 Free Credit Scores

I am applying for my first Studio, its a low income housing complex that has a very intense screening process. They pull your credit report and it has to be at 650 or higher (Im at like 653 w/ Experian- but I dont know what bureau they use that might make my score a little lower. A coworker has suggested turning in a friendly statement of facts along w/ a copy of my experian report explaining any points they may possibly view as negative.

Please read the below and let me know if you think its too much? Its okay? Any advice much appreciated!

********************************************************

This is my personal statement regarding any possible negative points of my credit report in further detail.

Possible Negative Point 1- Large amount of money owed in total:
This is for one reason only and that is my student loan amount. I attend a private nursing school and have needed to take out a US Dept of Education loan on the tuition cost. I have been paying back interest that may be building up here and there, but the large amount of money I owe is due entirely to student loans. These are government funded loans and I am not scheduled to begin paying these back until 6 months after my graduation date.

My auto loan remaing balance is under 00, and per my credit report you can see that it will be paid off in full with 3 more months of regular payments.

Possible Negative Point 2- Low Credit Limit on Revolving Credit Card, and amount owed closer to the total limit:
I recently had a emergency large ticket item on my vehicle and had to turn to my credit card to help pay for the repair. Per my credit report you should see that I have only been over the limit once by error but have maintained this credit card in good standing and most often with very low balances since I received it when I turned 18 in 2006.

Things I would like to be considered:
I am 22 years old and am currently bulding my credit. I have never taken on a financial responsibility I wasn’t able to handle and my credit report should reflect that as well. I had a ,000 car loan that I obtained in May 2008 set to last for 4 years. Through timely payments and extra payments I will be done with this loan much ahead of schedule by the end of 2010.

I have also attached a copy of my Experian Credit Report in full detail as I obtain those free with a monthly subscription in case your source of credit reports don’t provide enough detail to support my facts above.

I appreciate you taking time reviewing my statement. I would very much like to be approved for this apartment and therefore felt the need to point out the reasons for any possible negative point of my credit report in further detail.

Anyone check their creditkarma score regularly ?

March 16th, 2011 by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in 3 Free Credit Scores

Mine hasn’t moved in 3-4 months. Im stuck at 769.

Just curious if its just me ?

Thanks.

PS, My other free score, Quizzle was only 703 which is a wider range than I expected. Both, however, have me in the top 15%.

Both scores supposedly come from transunion so go figure.

(Im not willing to PAY for a credit score or even sign up for those free & cancel deals)
Credit Karma provides a free no-hassle credit score without the usual 30 days free bait followed by extravagant automatic enrollment. Instead, it recuperates its costs with targeted advertising offers based on your credit history.

I don’t oppose automated targeted ads. We are already bombarded with many of them unknowingly and often they provide better matching offers. I checked my Credit Karma’s scores a month ago but had an uneasy reservation when I learned that Credit karma provides its own “proprietary credit score” on scale of 300 to 850 (same scale as FICO Score of Equifax).

All of us who have done a credit score check from all 3 credit bureaus know that the credit scores differ by a few points. Credit scores are slightly different because each provider uses somewhat different algorithms. However, all credit scores are calculated from payment history (~35% weight), credit utilization (i.e. how much balance you have on card, ~30%), length of credit history (~1
In order to find the accuracy of credit scores, I briefly subscribed a trial offer (and canceled same day) and pulled credit scores from all 3 credit bureaus. In comparison to my Credit Karma scores, credit score differ as follows (difference in parenthesis); Transunion (0 points), Experian (+17),and Equifax or FICO (+7). The low difference in Transunion score maybe because Credit karma utilizes Transunion’s service to calculated its scores. As a safe guard I also asked my cousin M to check his scores. He found his Experian score was 12 points lower than Credit Karma’s score.

In conclusion to my little unscientific experiment, Credit Karma’s credit scores are reliable. It gives free tools. There is no need for not signing up for the service since it’s free. I would love to hear about your own Credit Karma’s experiment.

Can requesting an AnnualCreditReport lower my score?

March 14th, 2011 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in 3 Free Credit Scores

I know that when credit agencies (equifax, experian, transunion) recieve frequent or multiple requests from 3rd parties for your credit report, they will lower your score based on suspicion. Does requesting the free annual credit report affect this? Will they count this along with the other requests?

I tried emailing the FTC and the credit companies, but theres no way to reach them for general inquiries w/out being a customer.

Do I need to know my credit score?

March 13th, 2011 by admin | 3 Comments | Filed in 3 Free Credit Scores

I’m 19 years old and I’ve had (and used) a credit card for a year. I’ve paid the entire balance every month I’ve had it before the due date. So I’m guessing I have a good credit score. I’m about to embark on the car buying journey and I’m going to need a loan of around 00. I read the Consumer Reports new car buying guide and it said that it’s good to know your credit score before trying to get a loan. Is this true in my case? Do I need to know the score? If so, which one? TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian? Or all 3? From what I understand, all 3 will give me a free report but the FICO is not free.
