I just tried to get my free report from TU by stating I'm unemployed and they said they cannot verify that I qualify for a free report. That's never happened before. I wonder if they're cracking down on giving out reports?
I used the public assistance one and it went through. I had always used the denied for credit one, but I started getting the verification page.
used the denied credit and got one 2 days ago, 2 week ago it said, i'd reached my max of free reports???
Just a suggestion: You should not use the "unemployed, will be seeking employment" option when ordering a free report from TU. The reason, it could find its way to the employment section on your report, and just doesn't look good when applying for credit that pulls from them.
I never even though of that, mindcrime. It used to say unemployed on my report but I made them change it to "homemaker" (not that that probably looks any better, but I don't consider myself unemployed. I just don't get paid, LOL.)
