The accurate fact about credit reports is: You can request one online or over the phone.
Under U.S. law, you are entitled to one free credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) once a year, and you can request it online or over the phone. However, you can also request additional reports throughout the year if you have specific reasons, such as being denied credit or suspecting fraud.
