Credit report is sent to every individual free of charge on an annual basis according to state regulation. This makes it a right to demand to be issued with a free credit report from all the credit bureaus if one fails to get his or her mandatory copy. In such circumstances it is appropriate to lodge a complaint in writing or if the bureaus offices are near it still possible to visit them in person and demand to be provided with their free copy.

There are other instances where one may be provided with a free credit report besides the annual report. Whenever one applies for a credit card and it is declined, the credit bureaus have found it necessary to provide the concerned individual with their credit reports in the next 30 to 60 days. This is intended to help the particular person understand how their credit reports look like and why it caused their application for a credit card or any other loan to be declined. It provides the concerned a chance to review their report, raise any issue they may have with it, probably plan to sort out their financial lives to improve their credit rating for some other uses in future.

Whenever credit card investigation directs the investigators to check someone’s credit file, again the credit bureaus have found it appropriate and necessary to provide the concerned party with free copies of their credit report to help them understand how it got them into trouble or raised suspicion. The purpose of the free copy being provided without a request is to allow the persons involved look at the content and defend themselves if they feel the information is false or if their credit card identity was stolen and misused.

Besides the above circumstances, there are agencies which promise online credit reporting and most often offer free reports on introductory offers as they advertise for those who would prefer all year round credit report monitoring to subscribe. Certain companies who enjoy free credit report access because they may be credit information furnishers do offer free credit to customers who have purchased from them. This is often conditional on buying goods or services even if some people would argue that such conditionality does not constitute free. The fact that it comes as a bonus and one does not directly pay for it in a great sense qualifies the service to be free.
