Free Credit Report and Score from TransUnion

While it is possible for you to get a free credit report once a year from each of the three major credit bureaus, you often have to pay for your credit score (creditkarma.com offers a free credit score), and for any additional views. (Exception to that is when you are denied credit, in which case the agency used must provide you with your credit report if you ask within 60 days.)

Now, however, it is possible to check your credit report and your score from TransUnion, as much as you want, for six months. The reason? Apparently a clas action lawsuit settlement resulting from TransUnion’s practice of selling consumer profiles to third parties. At any rate, you can go to listclassaction.com to sign up.
