How Can I Get My Credit Score and Credit Report?
Monitoring your credit report and score regularly helps you monitor your progress and keep an eye out for fraud. Many financial institutions provide free credit reports, including your bank and credit issuer.
You can request a free credit report once a year (once a week through April 2021) from all three credit reporting agencies by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com[19]. Signing up for a free Experian account[20] online allows you to access your credit report and score anytime; scores and reports are refreshed every 30 days. You can also use Experian’s free credit monitoring to receive alerts on changes to your credit score, new information in your credit report and credit inquiries.
