- Online, visit AnnualCreditReport.com
- By phone, call 877-322–8228
- By mail, write to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
Important tips:
- AnnualCreditReport.com also offers Credit Scores for a fee. No purchase is required to get a free Credit Report.
- We suggest ordering 1 credit report every 4 months in order to monitor your credit throughout the year.
- Do not contact the individual credit-reporting agencies. They typically charge for reports when contacted directly.
- Beware of other sites that claim to offer free credit reports. They often charge for another service if you accept the report. These services may come with recurring monthly charges.
