Free Annual Credit Report
- Consumers are entitled to one free copy of their credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Each credit bureau may have different information, so it is important to obtain a report from each of the credit bureaus. Experts recommend consumers should check their reports each year. It gives consumers the opportunity to correct misreported information and guard against identity theft. The Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions has published a consumer awareness brochure, Credit Reports and Identitity Theft, with more information. Download the brochure now.
