Please take a second to rate this lens if you find this information useful. Thanks!
Recently one of my friends was the victim of identity theft. Someone took a credit card offer from his mailbox and obtained a credit card. I found that most people don't know they can get a free credit report.
The following information is about the process of getting a copy of your credit report.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months.
A credit report includes information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies sell the information in your report to creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses that use it to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment, or renting a home.
How do I order my free report?
When you order, you need to provide your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth. To verify your identity, you may need to provide some information that only you would know, like the amount of your monthly mortgage payment.
Warning - Don't Get Scammed
