How to obtain your free credit report from the three big credit bureaus. Be aware that many offers for “free credit reports” are not free. Most offers require you to sign up for additional services in order to obtain your “free” credit report. They then require you to cancel those additional services in order not to be billed on a recurring monthly basis. If you saw an ad on TV for a free credit report, think about how a big budget ad campaign could possibly offer freecreditreports. They can not. It is important to monitor your credit reports to make sure that there are no signs of identity theft. You should be looking for any lines of credit (credit cards, bank accounts, second mortgages) opened in your name which you did not sign up for.
