Free Credit Score Online

Credit scores are scores that show a person’s financial creditworthiness. The credit score is used to verify whether the person qualifies for a loan, or any other credit, based on whether he has repaid his previous loans satisfactorily. In other words, a credit report is a reflection of the past credit history of an individual. Credit score is used by banks and other lending companies to estimate how risky the borrower is. It helps them to determine how much loan can be given and at what rate of interest. Credit scores are also sought by employers and landlords for determining the eligibility of the applicant.

In the US, the credit score is based on the FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) score that is calculated by using certain mathematical and statistical techniques. There are also other versions of calculating credit scores such as Beacon and Empirica. A FICO score is based on various factors including: punctuality of payment in the past, capacity used (ratio of current revolving debt to total available revolving credit), length of credit history, types of credits used and recent credits obtained. FICO scores range from 300-850 wherein a score below 600 is considered “bad”, while a score above 720 is considered “good”. Every US citizen can obtain a credit report from a reporting agency as per the FACT Act (Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act).

Every person can get his/her credit report from each one of the credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, once a year. All three reports can be ordered at the same time. A free report can also be obtained more than once within the same year in certain situations like if a person is on welfare, or if the report was inaccurate because of fraud, if the person is unemployed and is looking for a job. If a company takes adverse action against the applicant such as denying application for credit, insurance, or employment, one can ask for a report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action.

There are also other companies that provide free credit scores and reports using their own tools and resources. They also provide other services such as free alerts about changes in the credit report, and advice about loan lenders and credit card companies that would provide credit suitable to the client’s credit score. However, the free offers are generally used to just attract people towards their other services. The free services are only for limited periods and usually require registration to their other paid services for accessing free credit scores.
