Is there any way to get a free FICO score - no strings attached? I'm basically more curious than in need of knowing it. Robyn
I haven't found one and would like to know too.

Some (most?) of those sites are very misleading with the "credit report" that doesn't include FICO scores.
Do your homework before signing up for any service. Myfico.com gives you Equifax only. I wish I knew more about all this to give better advice. I did find it frustrating to sign up for a service for a free score only to have to pay for it later.
