Question

After putting a fraud alert on my credit, how do I get my free credit report online?

Answer 1

go to annualcreditreport.com This is the only site that will give you a free credit report. You will be asked some validation question before viewing your credit report. Here is how it works

Answer 2

There are websites like FreeCreditReport.com that are NOT free. To receive a free report from these sites you must apply for their services. Legally, you are entitled to a free report from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) each year. Go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com to get a copy with NO fees and no requirement to subscribe to services.

Answer 3

You are allowed to get a free annual credit report once a year by going to http://www.annualcreditreport.com.

But DON'T do it yet!

You are also allowed to receive a free report if you believe you are the victim of identity theft, and you have filed a fraud alert.  So don't waste your free report, make them give you the fraud alert...then wait several months and check it again with your free annual report.
