If you are from Georgia, you are allowed 2 a year (1 every 6 months) from each of the agencies for free. Go to each of the big 3 websites and order online. These do not count against your report.

How to get my credit score? - Posted by Charity

I saw the link to the First Ohio Mortgage, but they can’t give me my score in GA since they are not licensed here. Is there a link to another site where I can get it without calling a mortgage person?

Thanks!

Charity:

The problem with requesting credit reports from Equifax, etc. is that they give you a copy of your report but they do not give your fico score.

I recently found myfico.com and discovered that you can get your report with a fico score. It costs about $12 but you get a complete report.

Good Luck

GA & others give free reports & scores - Posted by HarryAtl

All GA residents can get 2 credit reports a year for free! I did this a few weeks ago and one of the bureaus had an option to get my credit score too, which I did. It was free and the reports came about a week later by mail. It’s pretty simple to do. Here’s a link to the numbers you need to call to get your free report (this is really free!).

Here are the states can get free reports:
Colorado
Georgia ** 2 free reports
Maryland * $5.00 for reports
Massachusetts
New Jersey
Vermont

Enjoy,
Harry

REMINDER : every time you score is pulled it goes down because it’s consider an inquiry, so try to use the results from one of the 3 agencies above.

You are allowed 1 FREE credit report per year. And it has to be exactly 1 year or more apart. ex: You ask for a credit report on Feb. 3 2002 you then are only able to get another FREE report if you ask for a report on Feb. 3 2003 or later!! And I would ask them to put your score on the report, because sometimes they don’t if you don’t ask them too. Good Luck, dave
