The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 gives consumers the right to get a free credit report every year from each of the three credit bureaus. That means, every year, you can get one free credit report from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion for a total of three free credit reports.

The FTC partnered with the credit bureaus to offer a simple, centralized way for consumers to get these credit reports through annualcreditreport.com. However, imposter sites confuse consumers and trick them into paying for their free credit reports.

What is My Credit Score Upon Account Opening? 

Everyone begins with a blank slate, without any records or credit score. If you do not have any data on your consumer report you cannot have a credit score since there is nothing to calculate. The credit bureaus will begin collecting your data at the age of 18 if you begin to borrow credit. This means what when you are getting your credit card or loan you will have to go to banks or other lenders that will approve those with no credit history – usually meaning you will end up paying high interest rates. The lender will pull your credit score and find nothing upon credit request. If you are approved and pay you wills on time the lender will typically report it to the bureau.
