How Do You Find Out What Your Credit Score Is?
I know how to get a free credit report, but it doesn’t include the FICO score. Does anyone know of a reliable internet (or other) source to obtain the credit score? I’ve followed a few links but they all cost money and seem to be some kind of scam to get you to enroll in a credit monitoring service for $xx per month, which I don’t need. It seems like lenders really rely on credit scores, but shouldn’t a consumer have easy access to their own.

check out annualcreditreport.com. they provide you with free score once a year. however your fico score will cost you about 7.00 to view unless you know a mortgage broker that will do it for you for free for instance if your looking for a loan.

The US Government has mandated that the three major credit bureaus offer the service to everyone in the United States once each year. The name of this site is http://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Since it is government mandated it requires a whole host of hoops to jump through. You do not actually get your credit scores, and it can take 7-10 days to receive the information. All in all not very consumer friendly. Guess that is what happens when a big company is required to do something they do not want to do.
Here is how I got my Credit Report and Score from all 3 bureaus for free.
I went to http://faqfaq.net/FreeCreditReport.html and signed up for their service.
It took like 3 minutes! They give you 7 Days for Free to try the service.
So I just canceled the next day after printing out everything I needed.
Easy and Free.

If you contact the credit bureaus (any of the 3 of them-where you can get your free credit report once a year, no charge), you can get the score for a small fee. You don’t have to “sign up” for any monitoring services if you go directly through the credit bureaus.
