Credit Reports

FREE Credit Reports Now Available!

Under a new law called the FACT Act (The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act), the three national credit reporting agencies* are required to provide you with a free copy of your credit report once every 12 months, upon your request. The free report requirement is being phased in across the United States from west to east over a nine-month period beginning December 1, 2004, with all regions included by September 1, 2005. Missouri and Kansas residents were eligible to receive free reports as of March 1, 2005.

You may request your FREE credit report over the Internet, by phone or by mail. If you use the Internet you'll be able to see your report online.

The three nationwide credit reporting agencies have set up one central website, toll-free telephone number and mailing address through which you can order your free annual report. You can order reports from one, two or all three of the credit reporting agencies. Since each agency collects information from different sources, some experts recommend staggering your requests over the course of the year so you can receive a free report every four months.

To order your free credit report:

  • Click on www.annualcreditreport.com, or
  • Call 877-322-8228, or
  • Complete the Annual Credit Report Request Form (available at www.ftc.gov/credit), and mail it to: Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
