I’m sure you know that you can get a free copy of your credit report by logging on to www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
But, here’s what you may not know—there are other agencies that provide specialty reports, such as your history of filing insurance claims, traffic violations, medical information and public record of liens, property ownership, criminal history and bankruptcy.
You can find a list of all 40 of them by visiting www.cfpb.gov. In the search tab, enter the words “consumer reporting agencies.”
Here are just a few of them, where you can get a free report on the information that have about you!
