How to Obtain a FICO Score for Free
Credit scores are reports that list a person's loan accounts, payments and credit history. The FICO score was created by the Fair Isaac Corporation, the same people who run myFico.com, which allows you to sign up for a free 30-day trial where you can check your credit score from the leading credit reporting agencies such as Experian. In addition to checking your credit score, the free 30-day trial includes tips and guidelines on improving or maintaining your credit score.
