How can I obtain a copy of my credit report?

In North Carolina, you can obtain a free copy of your credit report by requesting one from the three major consumer credit reporting agencies. The three agencies are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To request a copy of your credit report, you will need to visit each agency’s website and fill out a request form. You may also be asked to provide proof of your identity and address before you can receive your credit report. If you have any questions regarding the request process, it is best to contact a customer service representative at the agency you are requesting from. Once you have requested a copy of your credit report, you should review it carefully to make sure that all of the information is accurate. If you find any errors, you may need to contact the agency and request a dispute to have the information corrected. North Carolina’s credit repair law states that any negative information listed on your credit report must be removed seven years after the date it was opened or reported. It is important to remember that obtaining a copy of your credit report does not improve your credit score. In order to improve or repair your credit, you must either pay off any outstanding debts or take steps to improve your credit utilization.
