how do i find my credit score?
I would like to know my credit score and I have gone to that free site and requested it but they said I had to pay. I know that you are entitled to a copy of your credit report and that you do not have to pay so where am I supposed to find this at FOR FREE? Thanks.

You'll find it's actually somewhat straightfoward to accomplish, just follow the advice found on the 2nd and 6th link at www.improve-your-credit-score.co.cc

Take care

Understand t hat your credit score is not the same as your credit report. As Judy says, credit SCORES are not free, credit reports are. The only way you can possibly get a "free" credit score is to sign up for one of the free credit monitoring service trials. However, if you do not cancel the trial within the prescribed period, you will get charged the monthly fee and then have to jump through hoops to get the service canceled, all the while enduring more fees.

Your best bet is to go to all three credit bureaus as well as MyFico and pay for the scores.

buildcredit.ifastnet.com - try this site. I use it to monitor my credit and also cleaned off some bad items from my credit report. You can apply for free initial plan and get your scores and reports for free.

You can google:
Fico Score Estimator for a quick estimate.

You can also use a site called CreditKarma.com
This will also give you an estimate, not the real fico score.

Please, if you are buying a home, go to Equifax.com and pay for your score.
The cost will be around 8 bucks.
Also try myfico.com for about 15 dollars.

Reports are fee - always have been at annual credit report.com
The score you have to pay for.

you can get one free credit report a year. but you usually need to pay a fee to get a score. if
your trying to get a loan you could ask the person who is running a check on your credit what
your score is. some will tell you some won't.

1. A credit report and a credit score are two different things. You are entitled to a free credit "report" only. You are not entitled to a free credit "score".
2. You have many credit scores, not just one.
3. Although you are not entitled to any of your credit scores for free, you can get ONE of them for free at http://www.creditkarma.com but I consider that score useless.
4. You cannot get your other credit scores for free. You can get the others only by paying for something.

you are not entitled to a FREE SCORE just your free report. most companies will give you a free 30 day trial where you find out your score right away and can cancel it before you start to incur membership fees. I do this like once a year and cancel it the same day.
I use annualcreditreport.com

As Judy said, annualcreditreport.com will give you a free copy of each of your reports once per year.

The actual credit score is a different story.

The one that matters most, your FICO score, can be obtained for a fee from myfico.com for TransUnion or Equifax. The Experian FICO is no longer available, which I think is ludicrous. In my opinion we should have access to these score at least once per year for free. It’s bad enough that they want to keep secret the formula used to compute the score.

There are other scores besides the FICO, but most institutions still use mostly the FICO to provide loans, mortgages, etc.

Still, by examining your three reports you can get a good idea of where you stand credit-wise.
Also, by obtaining other scores besides the FICO you can still keep an informed eye on your credit worthiness.

VantageScore is becoming more popular. I was developed by the three main credit reporting agencies and it’s competing against FICO. For a monthly fee you can keep an eye on this score and your reports by going to truecredit.com.

Personally I use Creditsecure from American Express. For about $12 monthly I get unlimited access to my reports and scores. Their scores are PLUS scores not FICO or VantageScore but I get a very good idea of where I stand any time I want.
