Free Credit Report
A credit report is your personal financial summary that is seen by banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers when you apply for a loan. Protecting the information on this report and ensuring its accuracy is one of the biggest concerns consumers have today!
The Fair and Accurate Transaction Act (or FACT Act), helps consumers understand their credit rights, credit reports, and fights identity theft.
It’s a good idea to view your credit report periodically to check for inaccuracies and potential fraud. Otherwise, you may not be aware of errors until you apply for credit, receive a less than optimum rate, or you are turned down altogether.
This law entitles you to receive a FREE CREDIT REPORT once per year from www.annualcreditreport.com
Written requests can be sent to:
