FREE CREDIT REPORTS explains how, why, and when to request copies of your free annual credit report. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires each of the nationwide credit reporting companies to provide credit reports, which include information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you’ve been sued or filed for bankruptcy. The reports are sold to creditors, insurers, and employers that use the information to evaluate applications for credit, insurance, employment, or renting a home.
