Your credit report shows your financial history — like credit cards, loans, and how well you’ve paid them back. It’s important to check your report to make sure everything is correct.

✅ You Can Get It for Free

The government allows you to get a free credit report once a year from each of the three major credit bureaus:

• Experian
• Equifax
• TransUnion

Here’s How to Get It:

1. Go to this website:
   AnnualCreditReport.com
   This is the official site. It’s free and safe.
2. Click on “Request your free credit reports.”
3. Fill out your information:
   You’ll be asked for:
   • Your name
   • Address
   • Social Security Number
   • Date of birth
4. Pick which reports you want to see:
   You can choose one, two, or all three credit bureaus.
5. Answer security questions:
   These are personal questions to confirm your identity. For example, it might ask about past loans or addresses.
6. View and print your reports:
   You can see them right away on the screen, or download and print them.

Tips:

• You don’t need a credit card to do this.
• You won’t hurt your credit score by checking your report.
