The 3 Credit Bureaus

While there are many companies that sell credit reports, there are only three credit bureaus, or original sources of information.   These are Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.   The companies that resell credit reports all get their information from these three bureaus.   While the information from company to company may be presented in a different format - it is the same information that the bureaus have.   You can purchase your credit report with or without scores, and with or without a variety of other services - such as credit monitoring and identity protection.   Fees for these services vary from company to company and you can shop around until you find one you like.

 

We can recommend purchasing your credit reports from any of the three bureaus, or any of the other sources that you'll find the the Resources Section of the software.   To better help you in making a decision, we've added the links (above) so that you can check them out for yourself.   To learn the difference between a Credit Bureau and a Credit Reseller, check out The 3 Credit Bureaus
