Credit Report Scores - Who Determines Them?

There are three major credit reporting agencies: , , and .

Each of these credit reporting agencies receives information from credit grantors such as credit card companies, stores granting credit, mortgage companies, and banks. They compile your credit history and compute your credit report scores.

They provide your history and credit report scores to others who have a genuine interest in your credit worthiness.

Truth About Free Credit Reports

We appreciate your desire to obtain a free credit report. The fact is that maintaining credit histories and providing reports to people is a business. No business that survives can give away its products for free.

Every web site providing "free" credit reports works with the three credit reporting bureaus. These sites can only offer you a brief review of your report. Most offer a free 3 day or 30 day view of your report from one of the three credit reporting agencies.

Creditors may not send reports of your credit transactions to all three bureaus. Thus, reports from each credit reporting bureau may differ. It's to your advantage to see your complete credit history in a "3-in-1" type report.

To see your full credit history from the three reporting bureaus you'll have to pay. To view your report over a period of time as your credit history changes you'll have to pay.

There is no way for any web site to provide your credit history outside of the three reporting bureaus. And the three credit reporting agencies are businesses; they charge for their services.

Credit Report Scores - How to See Them

Each of the three credit reporting agencies can provide you with a one-time copy of your credit report. Equifax, Experian, for example, will provide your report online for a fee of $9. Trans Union charges from $7.50 to $9 for your credit report.
