You can receive a free copy of your credit file if: you have been denied credit, insurance, or employment and request the report within 60 days of notice, or if you can prove that (1) you’re unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days, (2) you’re on welfare, or (3) fraud on your credit file.

If you have already used annualcreditreport.com: If you have a current copy with Equifax or Experian, you will be able to view your credit report by initiating a dispute. You will need a ‘confirmation number’ that is less than 60days old. After disputing an item, make sure to keep the new confirmation number that is generated. You will need to ‘login’ to Transunion’s website, and initiate a dispute. They will allow you to view a current copy of your credit file.

*Please remember that annualcreditreport does not provide credit scores.
