text: where can i go toget a free credit report score without buying something else with it? every time i got to those credit report sites they ask you to give a credit card number and i do not want to do that i just want my credit report score. a couple of years ago, a site was created where the consumer could check their credit once a year with each of the three bureaus at no charge and without affecting their score.  the site was created to allow consumers to catch fraud early and keep on top of their credit reporting.  by visiting the link i've provided below, you will be able to view a thorough and detailed credit report.  however, if you wish to know your score they will charge you around $8.
