1. Yeah, that is a difficult search.
Almost as difficult as trying to search online for penis enlargement.

17. It's from "The Stand"
Tom Cullen, one of the people on the good side (the Mother Abagail side) said that a lot in the book.

Why the hell I'm remembering this now is a complete mystery. I last read that thing in high school...

4. annualcreditreport.com
https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp

This is the only one that's actually free. The site is the result of federal legislation requiring each of the three main companies to give you one free report per year, no strings attached.

I check a different report every four months. That way, I see each company's report once a year, and I can keep a fairly close eye on things.

7. -----------What he said
annualcreditreport is the real one that is free.

freecreditreport.com are a bunch of crooks and liars. that's why they advertise so much. It's not free. It's as Orwellian as the "Clear Skies Act".

9. Clark Howard, the consumer guru recommends
annualcreditreport.com. But you will have to pay to get your score.

20. I know there is a link on the Delaware state home page where I can get my free yearly credit report
I would check on your state's website - that way you know you're getting the free one!

21. If you have a credit card and have signed up for the online account access...
many of them keep a running tally of your credit score. It's not a full report, but it might be enough depending on what your needs are.
