Didn't they pass a law some years back allowing folks to get their credit report (from the major companies) once a year? In addition, isn't it law that they send a letter after taking negative action based on the credit report - because people are entitled to it then as well?
If this is the case, that fee won't be there.
- x0x0 10y agoFree credit reports don't include FICO scores, and come with various other drawbacks, such as a lengthened time for the CRAs to respond to disputes. The CRAs don't send a letter after negative action, the company who chose to grant or not grant credit does. You are entitled to a free report; however, it can be a pain to get when the company from whom you requested credit is small.
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoAh, ok. Well, in that case, it is only a half-good law and not really helpful. Thanks for filling in the details for me.
