Where to get free credit report?

[momofmikey]

Just wanted to confirm... found a website www.annualcreditreport.com, that says we can order our free yearly credit report. Has anyone done this, and is this a legit site?

Thanks!

Also, which of the three companies is best to order from?

This site is the official site set up with the free credit reporting act (or whatever the government decided to call it ). Here is a link about it from the Federal Trade Commission.

You are eligible for a free report from each of the three major credit bureaus. I would recommend all three because each can have different information.

While the free report from each is important, remember that you have to pay to get your "credit score". I use myfico.com
