    I just wanted to know if there was any way I could get all 3 credit report scores at one time instead of paying for each one separate and if anyone knows of a good site to get the scores from?

    Thanks

    Far as I know, that's not a great idea to get the reports merged as one report. You need to be able to see what is on which report. It might save you a few bucks (I've seen it for $30 for all 3) but when it comes to trying to fix errors and such, they're not very helpful.

    There are several services that will let you try them out for 30 days FREE, although your score with them may not be your real actual score.

    CreditExpert.com
    Privista.com
    DirectAlert.com
    ConsumerInfo.com
    WorthKnowing.com

    I believe that most people prefer CreditExpert to the others, but that will only give you your Experian report. But you can check that site daily for updates.

    Privista sucks (IMHO, anyway) as they run a week behind and they have a scoring system that confuses any sane person.

    WorthKnowing is about is good as Privista.

    DirectAlert gives you Experian, but I have trouble getting to their site unless I use a link from another site and they just send you your report through the mail.

    Consumer Info gives you Equifax.

    If you've been declined in the last 60 days for credit you can get a free report from the agency whose information was used in the decision.

    If you do a search, I'm sure you'll find some more info on this topic.

    Thanks. I ended up pulling one off of Experian.com for $12.95 and was wondering if there was an easier way to pull all 3 credit bureaus.
    Another question, by pulling each one from the 3 different credit bureaus, are the scores pretty accurate?
