Houston Credit Repair expert, Vanessa Perry explains how to get an accurate credit score on the latest Ask Impeccable Episode below.
Online Scores
Many websites advertise “free credit check” or a “free credit report”, these are not accurate scoring systems. Some of these websites are on banking apps, but they are all third party. Many third party consumer sites advertise as a resource to check consumer credit, but their resources are for educational purposes only. They will have a small box that explains that the scores and data may not be accurate. Even the credit bureau websites use a third party scoring system! Credit cards offer third party scoring as well that can be anywhere from 20-200 points off with no rhyme or reason on their scoring simulation. These credit card sites are also only used for educational use and could be considered a fictitious score based on the lack of validity.
How Do I Check My Credit Score?
To properly check your credit score you can get a single score from a credit bureau when you apply for a loan or a credit card. There are a total of three credit bureaus: Transunion, Equifax, and Experian. The only way to get all three scores is through a trimerge credit report. You can only get a trimerge credit report through a mortgage company. Mortgage companies have access to credit reports, but they do cost a fee to process. An individual is not allowed to profit from a credit report. Most mortgage companies take the fee as an expense or have the clients pay for the report. Meanwhile, to pull all three bureaus it is less than $40, but can vary from where they pull from.
