So yeah, http://www.creditkarma.com. None of that 30 day trial BS, you sign up and you can check your credit score at any time for free. It's supported by sponsored offers for things like bank accounts and internet service. Check out the FAQ if you have questions. Seems like a good site!

I had no problems with free creditreport.com. Took about 10-15 min to get my score, then called and canceled 5 minutes later. Pretty painless actually.

Yeah this is nice because it's ongoing so can track your score over time, and of course there's nothing to (forget to) cancel, but whatever works for you.

Wow, very painless and easy! Thanks alot, this is genuinely good and useful.
Are you sure its legit? Im skeptical because my score is very high! I got an 824, that is very high right?
If its correct, Im happy.

Not positive, but my score there matched up with the score I've received from other services so I don't think they're just using a random number generator or something. 824 is relatively good, I have about the same score with four open, lightly utilized revolving lines of credit and no delinquencies. It's not so much that it's high as that everyone else's is really loowww. But who cares why you look good as long as you do?

Actually, now I know why my score was abnormally high... It was 824 out of 950 not 850!
They have recently changed their scoring to make it out of 850, which gives me a more reasonable score of 761.

Now it is out of 850, which is the better because that is the norm.

I tried it and I had a tough time registering, I finally put my PO box in as my address and it worked.
It only gives me a number, 741, which is interesting but doesn't give any info as to why 741 is the number. Doesn't list which bills are late, etc.
Better then nothing but not much.

Yeah it's good for spot checks, but you'd need to use it in combination with something like http://www.annualcreditreport.com/ to get a full overview of your credit situation. I actually think 741 is pretty good though, if you had a problem like a delinquent account it would probably be much lower.
