Credit Bureau Comparisons - Experian Equifax and Transunion side-by-sideSo, you want to get your credit report, right?
How can I get a free credit report?
What is a credit score? Below is a comparison of products and services that the major credit
bureaus offer. You may also want to Compare
Credit Services by Credit Bureau.
Of course, I'd recommend all three. They usually don't charge you until after the 30 days are over. By that time, if you don't want the monitoring service, you may have already canceled. And, I always check all three credit bureaus since the reports always have different discrepancies. If you have to choose only one, I recommend Equifax only because the
other two bureaus bought out some third party company to handle their
services. I prefer to go to the source to get my report. And, Equifax
seems like the only bureau that doesn't focus on the FREE part. I feel
safer with a company that will tell you the truth upfront, and doesn't
compromise their integrity to make a buck.
This service is good for busy people who don't want to fuss with credit monitoring services. And, it's easy to compare your information because each credit bureau shows your credit information side by side so you don't have to sit there and try to line up your information. My choice here is pretty simple. I'd, of course choose the best deal,
which is from True Credit. How can you beat that price, and all three
offer basically the same information.
This service is for people who just need one credit report from a major credit bureau. Well, it's so difficult to find this link (Credit bureaus are always wanting to sell you more, so they never promote just a plain credit report anymore) but we have the links here for you. For $9.00, you get an online credit report. My choice is Equifax, for the same reasons I mention in the credit monitoring.
In addition, they allow you to view your credit report online for 30 days.
On the Experian Credit Bureau, you had better make sure you printed it
because once you close your browser... poof, it's gone and you have to
buy another one.
