NationalCreditReport.com Explains Consumers’ Rights to Annual Free Credit Reports
Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 21, 2010
NationalCreditReport.com is helping to educate consumers about The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), enacted by the Federal Trade Commission, that states that consumers can carry their personal credit report for complimentary once per year from each of three major credit accounting agencies (Experian™, Equifax™ and TransUnion™), thus ensuring the consumer’s right to an annual free credit report without enrolling in a credit monitoring service.
“The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a significant piece of legislation projected to defend the consumer’s correct to a yearly complimentary credit report,” said Samuel S. Ambrose, Vice President of Marketing and Operations of NationalCreditReport.com. “NationalCreditReport.com advises consumers to regularly obtain their personal credit report and monitor it for any important changes. By allowing people to access their own information for free once a year, they are able to get a birds-eye view of how they are seen in the eyes of potential creditors.”
While allowing consumers to obtain their personal credit report at no cost once per year, the credit reports associated with the FCRA do not include important attribute scores. Additionally, if the consumer wants to check their attribute reports more often than once a year they will need to buy additional reports.
“Many people access their credit reports to ensure that there are no inaccuracies or unexpected inquiries into their credit records,” said Ambrose. “Being that not every creditor reports to all three credit bureaus, we do recommend that consumers obtain their personal credit report from each bureau at least quarterly and participate in a credit monitoring service so they can be alerted immediately to any changes in their report.”
For consumers who do not want to participate in a free trial of its credit monitoring service, NationalCreditReport.com was the first in its industry to allow customers to purchase their credit report whenever they want for a low price, with no negative impact on the consumer’s credit score. This offer, which NationalCreditReport.com calls “No Strings”, began in January.
