How would I check my credit score? And is there a way to do it for free? Do I have to go to the bank?


Help?

in america, there are three places that do it. you get one free credit report per year. experian is the only one i can think of off hand.

don't use that free credit report website. its a total scam. if you don't cancel it within a certain number of days, they charge you a monthly fee and then you have to deal with some smartass over the phone trying to talk you into shit. hate so hard.

Oh, one free check per year. how crappy. OK. Since it's already almost the end of the year I guess I will wait. Thanks for the advice.

And what is considered a "good credit score"..something 700 or above? I am just starting to build my credit now...I havent had any in the past, good or bad.

i just tried to check through experian, and they too will charge you if you don't cancel the account within 9 days, and hold your credit card information.

i'm really curious about mine. because recently i had it checked by an employer, and they said it was AWFUL. but earlier this year i resigned the lease on my apartment and bought a car and they said my credit was great? i feel like it's probably somewhere in the middle, but i have no way of checking.
