Free Credit Report
Under federal law, you are entitled to one free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies. You can order reports online at AnnualCreditReport.com, by calling 1-877-322-8228, or by completing the Annual Credit Report Request Form available from the Federal Trade Commission and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
Colorado residents may obtain additional copies of their credit reports from each credit reporting agency as provided by state law. We encourage you to review your credit reports carefully and report any inaccurate or suspicious activity.
Fraud Alerts
You may place a fraud alert on your credit file at no cost. A fraud alert tells creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity before extending credit. Contact any one of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies listed above; the agency you contact is required to notify the other two.
Security Freeze
You may also place a security freeze on your credit report at no cost. A security freeze prevents credit reporting agencies from releasing your credit report without your express authorization, which may delay or prevent the approval of new credit, loans, or services in your name.
To request a freeze, contact each credit reporting agency separately. The agency may ask for your full name, Social Security number, date of birth, current and previous addresses, a copy of a government-issued identification card, and a recent utility bill or bank statement. Please confirm requirements directly with each agency before sending personal information.
