Can You Get a Credit Score for FREE?

Credit scores are getting more important these days. However, they are not available for free. Free credit report and score offers are not always free.

The "free" credit reports advertised by the credit reporting agencies and some other companies on TV and the Web are not really free. These are often given as part of a "trial subscription" to a credit-monitoring service that will then charge a monthly fee for allowing you to view your credit report as often as you wish

Your credit score and report could be free only if you cancel your subscription within 30 days.

With the growing threat of identity fraud, it's important to make sure that your credit is closely watched. If you are a busy person, who want some automatic protection, subscribing to a credit monitoring service is not a bad idea.
