Request a Copy of Your Credit Report - Do it Yourself

There are 3 different credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union. This program can create a letter for each credit bureau.

You can get a free credit report every 12 months. If you have already gotten a credit report in the last 12 months, you can still get a free copy if:

• your credit report was used against you in the last 60 days,
• you are unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days,
• you are getting public assistance, or
• your report is wrong due to fraud.

 Read the Credit Reports Fact Sheet for more information.

If you are at a library, you can skip this step of instructions. Public computers already have these programs installed. If you are using your own computer, make sure your computer has Microsoft Word.

(Note: Microsoft Word Pad is not the same as Microsoft Word and will not work with this program.)
