Don’t use “Freecreditreport.com” - here’s why
A fellow blogger wrote a post today about credit reports, saying you should avoid “Freecreditreport.com” because of the fine print. Read her post here: http://www.yieldingwealth.com/want-your-credit-score-be-prepared-to-pay-for-it/
Here’s a suggestion when you’re going to banks to apply for your practice startup loans: Go to annualcreditreport.com and pay for the three FICO scores. Then take the entire report, plus scores to each bank. Show them the report instead of letting them “hit” your credit score.

Jean, this is very valuable and great information. I always check my credit report on freecreditreport.com and annualcreditreport.com
Recently, I did cancel my subscription because I was constantly bombarded to with emails asking to improve my membership.
Another financial institution I use is Washignton Mutual. If you sign up for their credit card you automatically receive a credit score that is updated monthly at no charge.
Thanks for the information. I will check out Washington Mutual.
