Credit Report Addresses

To get copies of your credit report write or call following:

Please keep in mind that different creditors may use different credit reporting companies. Just because something does not appear on one credit card report does not mean that it will not appear on another.

All of the credit bureaus will provide you a free copy of your credit report if you have been denied credit within the past 30 to 60 days, have been a victim of fraud, unemployed (usually requires proof of receiving unemployment benefits) or if you are on AFDC. If so, present them with a copy of the letter of denial of credit, police report for fraud, unemployment benefits or AFDC benefits and you should get copy of your credit history free of charge.

Otherwise, the current cost to obtain a copy of your credit history is $9.00.

Federal Law now allows one free credit report a year. Due to the expected demand for requests, a clearing house with process and procedure is being created and implemented by regions of the country with expected compliance for the East coast by September 2005.
