Victory State Bank: Check Your Credit Report

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Victory State Bank is reminding business owners and consumers about the importance of reviewing credit reports.

Your credit report may be used by lenders to determine your credit worthiness or the interest rate to charge on a loan.

Inaccuracies in a credit report can be financially damaging.

The Federal Trade Commission wants you to know that AnnualCreditReport.com is the ONLY authorized source for the free annual credit report that's yours by law.

 The Fair Credit Reporting Act guarantees you access to your credit report for free from each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies — Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion — every 12 months.

The Federal Trade Commission has received complaints from consumers who thought they were ordering their free annual credit report, and yet couldn't get it without paying fees or buying other services. TV ads, email offers, or online search results may tout "free" credit reports, but there is only one authorized source for a truly free credit report.

You can request your free report online, by phone or by mail. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com, call 1-877-322-8228, or fill out the Annual Credit Report Request form (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/requestformfinal.pdf) and mail it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. 

 No matter how you request your report, you have the option to request all three reports at once or to order one report at a time.  By requesting the reports separately, you can monitor your credit more frequently throughout the year.
