I just received the credit report from Equifax that I requested above on June 18th — so it took less than 1 week.

I am surprised that alot of my financial information is not included on the report — it does have my Visa, Car Loan, ING LOC and an old mortgage but it has no record of my Amex, MasterCard or my current mortgage.

The mortgage is interesting to me since I renewed it with the same bank.

There was nothing significanly incorrect on the credit report — other than having 3 different spellings of my employers name on file.

I guess that all lenders do not report to all of the credit reporting agencies. I am going to get one of the other free reports to see if it has more fun information.

Telly, AFAIK, the credit score is one of the “for-fee” services of these companies. I can’t imagine they would give it away.

BTW: My wife had her identity stolen – two credit cards opened, maxed, and dumped. We didn’t find out until another credit card company dropped our limit. We got the credit report and sure enough – addresses and cards we knew nothing about.

Moral of the story – get you credit report routinely like CC does.

Thanks for the info guys. That’s great to know.

Does anyone know if the credit ‘scores’ are available free of charge by phone?

Thanks FT. I was curious whether TransUnion allows ordering the FREE credit report by phone. They do as well at 1-800-663-9980.

The require SIN number or Visa/MasterCard number and personal details and say it takes about five minutes to order by phone.
