How do I get a copy of my credit report from a trustworthy website?
It must be fate. Not even an hour ago, I just finished posting a link to a free trial offer from Credit.com. The free trial allows you to order all three of your credit reports (from Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) and all three of your corresponding credit scores.

I made this offer  available through Home Buying Institute because a lot of people ask about this. I can understand why ... with so many "shady" websites online harvesting personal information, it can be downright scary to enter you personal information into some web form. But you can rest assured that Credit.com and their partner websites are all safe, secure places to request your credit reports / scores.

You can get to the free trial offer through the Credit section of our main website. Just look for the gigantic flashing image that says "Free Credit Report" ... you can't miss it. :-)

Good luck.
