Credit Report Options?
I had problems trying to get a free credit report from EX and TU through the central site - one of them wouldn't accept any of about 8 valid credit card numbers I typed in on a security question, while the other had a different technical problem. Only EQ came through, and I don't think its list of recent inquiries included those made through the other bureaus.
What are the other options at present for getting credit reports and inquiry histories, preferably with FICO or PLUS scores, whenever I want them (not just once per year). I'd prefer not to deal with the credit bureaus directly, as they appear to be in the scam business.
Thanks......

If you want True Credit for $9.95 / month try this link. It will let you run a report for TU, EX and EQ every day.

Have you tried www.annualcreditreport.com ?
Through this site, you should be allowed to pull a free credit report through each agency. The frugal way of pulling credit reports (without signing up for commercial credit services and then churning) would be to go to this site every 4 months, and then get a free pull from a different agency each time.
I am still learning how to get more free pulls myself.... And how to bump things by pulling the reports.

You are welcome. I found the link over on fatwallet. It was supposed to be for existing account holders who wanted to leave TrueCredit but it works for anyone.....so far.
