Free Credit Score

Gary North - March 01, 2014

Now you can find out your credit score for free. There is no credit card required, so as to bill you in month two, which is how the "free credit score" sites get you when you don't cancel immediately.

There is a problem. It's not your official FICO score. But it's close enough for estimating whether you qualify for a mortgage loan. My score was very close to one of the FICO reports of the "big three."

So, it's a way to get a general idea of what your FICO score is, and how this score stacks up against other debtors.

Better yet, it offers a credit simulator feature. You can play around with it to see what things you can do to improve your FICO score: //www.garynorth.com/snip/1125.htm

This site is a sleeper. It is in the top 700 sites in the USA on Alexa -- very high. There are a lot of satisfied customers.

They send you ads, the way Mint.com does, but you can refuse to accept this offer. The default mode is "no." I accepted. Why? Because it's my business to see what kinds of financial offers are out there. Plus, I'm an ad freak. I love ads. I steal ideas. "Why do you think it's called copywriting?"

Here is the site: https://www.creditkarma.com.

I recommend it.
