when I wanted my credit score, i did the whole thing online and was able to print it out. The only thing working against me at the time was a lack of credit history, but I'm hoping that my mortgage and 2 more years of using my card will have cleared that bit up.
Though as someone who knows about FICO scores, I can also say that they are crap, but at this point in time they are the best option out there.
And yeah, credit companies totally try and prey on people. I am still trying to figure out why I get a captial one offer every week even though I have never responded to anything they have ever sent me. I really should call them and tell them to stop it, or I'll get their ass for harassment.
I did, however, sign up for a shiny new REI Visa the other day, which will take the place of my old bank of america Visa, as the REI Visa will actually give me things when I use it and the B of A one does not. Stupid B of A.
Mass mailings had a 3% yield in 1975, and slowly it has dropped off. Mailings generally cost about 25-50 cents per. I wonder how their profits would do without the spam.
Credit card companies treat you precisely like a drunk sorority girl at a party. No means yes. Yes means bring friends.

I did the freecreditreports.com and apparently by getting the free credit report I automatically was signed up for some rediculous program that costs $80 a month...i called the bank and they cancelled the charge and told me i didn;t have to pay it thank god

Exactly! It's this crazy scam!
But www.annualcreditreport.com is a gov site and if you go through them to Experian, it might work out. That's where I finally got mine and I don't think I got signed up for any annoying club/money grubber.

That is helpful! www.annualcreditreport.com is where I went and TransUnion was the company that put me through the ringer with crazy identity questions (which, honestly, an identity theft would have been able to answer better than I could).
Experian was the company (through acr.com) that asked me some useful questions to confirm my identity and gave me an easy to read report.
I just tried getting my free reports, and Experian does seem to be the easiest to use. I'd forgotten my username for Transunion, but once I got that resolved I was able to get the report. Equifax on the other hand...I answered their two questions correctly and it told me that for my protection I couldn't view the report online but I could request it by mail. :/ I'm sort of wondering about that, but everything seems ok with the other two so I'm not too worried.
