How do I obtain a copy of my credit report after filing for bankruptcy?

Obtaining a credit report after filing for bankruptcy in Hawaii is a straightforward process. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires the three major credit bureaus—TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax—to provide free credit reports to consumers who have filed for bankruptcy. To get your report, first locate the website of each of the three bureaus. Then, select “Request Your Free Credit Report” and provide the required personal information. Once you have provided the information, each of the bureaus will provide you with a copy of your credit report for free. Alternatively, if you cannot access the website, you can print out the Annual Credit Report Request form from the Federal Trade Commission’s website and mail it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. When you mail in the form, make sure to indicate you have filed for bankruptcy to receive the free credit report. Afterwards, you can get a sense of your credit situation by reviewing the credit reports. Be sure to check each report for accuracy, and monitor your credit report regularly. By doing so, you can protect your credit integrity and make sure no inaccurate information is being reported.
