  • You CAN get your credit score for free, but the sources are somewhat different from free credit reports. Experian will give both your report and your FICO based on their data; sign up at freecreditscore.com (and decline all the upsell attempts). Banks (at least Bank of America, Chase, Discover, and USAA FSB) each give the FICO score based on the bureau each uses for credit qualification. Advertising-supported creditkarma.com and creditsesame.com both give free "FAKO" scores, one also give access to a non-official but complete report.
