Beware of Non-Official Credit Report Websites
By karen | April 30, 2008
I was amazed when I was doing a Google search for the official Annual Credit Report service through the FTC.gov site, so I could forward the URL to a friend it wasn’t coming up though it looked like it was. When I type in annualcreditreport [note: with no spaces] it came up with a non-official website I didn’t recognize. Then when I typed in annualcreditreport.com, which is the website’s URL it also came up with the non-official site.
The official site comes through the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The URL is: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp. Do a search with spaces and it comes up.
Make sure it is the one sponsored by the three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, TransUnion. You can request the report from online or through the mail.
