I keep up with my credit report. I check my score once a year.

What's the best place to get my score?

do you need the score or just the report?
The report is free once a year from all three institutions.

just skip out on any offers for the score cause they usually require you to give a credit car number even when free and you might opt in for hidden programs.

I just need the score.

EDIT: I know it costs money for the SCORE as opposed to the report.

Careful, I had heard that checking your credit or having places run your credit too often actually brings it down too.

yeah but she wants the score. I think you can go with almost any site you can google for that, but if you run the free report they will offer you to get your scores from other third party sites in the end which I would assume are approved and safe.

Just use that cheap bastard Clark Howard (http://clarkhoward.com/liveweb/shownotes/2008/06/06/13638/). He's always got a way.

it didn't run a credit check, it was just a monthly graph that showed my credit score (can't remember which credit agency it showed). i was happy to see my credit score keep going up every couple of month after some previous poor financial decisions.

but yeah, apparently if people run credit checks against you, it can lower your score, which doesn't make much sense to me. if you're looking to buy a house or rent an apartment, there may be several people running credit reports on you. why should that affect your score?!?

i guess there's some element of quantum physics involved, where you can't know the credit score of an individual without collecting data, but as soon as you collect that data, you affect its value.

Sign up here for one free check of your actual SCORE (they'll try to sell you all kinds of other shit, obviously): www.quizzle.com

It's a Quicken endeavor that has received national press, so it seems legit.

Those are credit REPORTS that don't contain your credit SCORE. Which is why she keeps asking for places to find your SCORE. Get it?

Credit.com will give you your range without hitting your credit report.

I encourage my young employees to use it so, they'll get their shit together.

That worked. Thanks.

I used to pay for my credit report every month. I hadn't checked it a few years. Glad I did.

Found where a radiology department turned over an old bill, that was supposed to be paid by BCBS, to a collection company.

Also found that they had a P.O. box address listed from somewhere in Missouri. Kinda scary.

Both are now in "dispute". I didn't see any open accounts or anything that didn't belong to me, but still glad to hopefully get this cleared up.
