When credit agencies pull your credit score, they pull your real FICO scores from Equifax, Transunion, or Experian.
While there are hundreds of services that offer to let you check your credit score, they’re all just fakes! Those scores are called FAKOs, as they are just simulated scores, not your actual credit score.
Just remember to cancel within 30 days and you won’t have to pay a cent! After 30 days the service will cost you $16.95/month.
While the Equifax scores from this service are legitimate FICO scores, the Experian and Transunion scores are simulated FAKO scores and may not be accurate.
This report will also tell you how many inquiries (hard pulls) you have from each agency.
-Checking your own credit will not effect your credit in any way.
-Agencies like Citi, Credit Karma, TrueCredit and Vantagescore do not sell real FICO scores. They only have FAKOs and are often measured in different ranges (like 501-990, or 150-900 instead of 300-850) than your real FICO score. Credit agencies check your real FICO score, not a FAKO score…so there’s not much point to knowing a FACO score. The only other place besides for Equifax that gives a FICO score is directly from MyFico.
-You can check your credit report for free at annualcreditreport.com, but that will not display your score for free. This is one of the only ways to check your FICO score for free!
I signed up today for this service and it worked fine for me
Thanks Dan

I have very good credit (715-750 for all 3) but i get rejected for a credit cards due to high balances. I am trying to apply for a balance transfer card with no interest. Any suggestions? I am trying to pay off my debt but dont want to keep paying interest on the current balances on my current cards
Please advise
@dave:

what is considered a good experian score?
After i loged i with Premier Plan i see this message:
Update Payment Information
Your Equifax Complete Premier Planâ„¢ subscription will expire soon unless updated payment information is provided. To continue your subscription uninterrupted, update your payment information today.
So i guess I do not have to cancel it in 30 days 🙂
I picked “Equifax Complete Premier Plan” FREE for 30 days and 19.99 a month, and it did not ask my credit card info.
What about MyFico.com – according to them, I have a 747. Is that real of FAKO?
Thanks Dan, you’re great!
@Dan: haha that explains why my Equifax Credit score was 741 but my Experian score was below 700- I guess the pull was made on Experian- but I thought you said the Experian score was a FAKO?
Would a virtual card be a bad move?
Is a pull from verizon considered a hard pull?
@ari
Check the forums.
Hint: you can freeze your experian report forcing the cc company’s to check another agency. (doesn’t work for amex)
Most credit card banks only do a hard pull on one credit agency. The bank they pull from depends on your state of residence, so there’s no general rules to know where they pull from.
Capital One is a notable exception-they pull from all 3 agencies-doing 3 times the damage as other cards.
It says inquiries in last 2 years: 0
@Shlomo: So I guess that I avoided the inquiry. Interestingly, the Amex PRG charge card I applied for in October didn’t show up either. There are many credit inquiries, but they are all soft (i.e. monthly inquiries by my capital one card from 2006). Is it possible I’m looking at the wrong page and that hard inquiries are listed separately?
all my inquiries are on experian, thats why i got denied my last application.
is there a way to request they do a check from another agency?
what does revolving account mean?
i have 637 is that bad? DAN! your the man with the plan!
how do i IMPROVE my credit score???
I had this and cancelled in the past. It is kind of annoying to call to cancel. The last time it took about 20 minutes of being on hold.
@Miles: mine showed up within 2 days of my application so I am not sure what that means for you.
is annualcreditreport.com bad for credit to check?
Thanks 825 not bad helps having zero inquiries in the last 2 years, if only my Experian would be that
There are no recent hard inquiries on my experian credit report, even though I just opened the 100000 Mile Chase British Airway card. Is it going to show up, or am I golden?
@joe:

Credit inform is also FAKO ??
seriously cant you just look on the site instead of harassing dan? how lazy are you?!
@dan, thanks for the deal score was 765 🙂
Is Quizzle the real score?
How about Amex Credit monitoring. Is their score real FICO?
whats the phone number to cancel?
Dan, where on the site can i cancel it? OR do i need to call and cancel?
@Pinny M:
@chavi:
Credit Keeper and Lifelock are not real FICO scores. They are both FAKO!
Thanks dan, Is lifelock
a fico score
You can also get your real FICO score through CreditKeeper. http://www.mycreditkeeper.com/Default.aspx
It is also free for 30 days, then $9.99 a month thereafter. The advantage of thsi site is that if you forget to cancel it is only $10.00 a month, not $17.00.
You can cancel at any time, but you need to call in to cancel. Takes only a few minutes to cancel.
How do I cancel my order?
thanks Dan! 767 Excellent, and having problems always to get approved
can you cancel online?
@AL:
I started to input my info and it told me I already had an account with them, so i just logged in and it gave me the offer.
@thanx
(I’ve tryed asking lenders but they refuse to give it to me) I’ll just have to stick to fako scores.
I signed up through the link and it worked even though I already tried a previous free offer.
Be aware: you can’t cancel this online, you must call to cancel. i did, it took only two minutes
@Shua:
Nope, sorry.
@I:Credit Karma is NOT a real FICO score. It is FAKO.
@Yitzi:
Unfortunately there is no current way for consumers to see there own experian score (besides for asking a lender what it was when they pull it for credit)
Is there anyway to get my experian fico score?
I have used credit karma which is for free no credit card or signup promotins needed and they give you your real score
Can you get an updated score every day?
i didnt get the free trail through your site. i got it from them. but did you get a new sign on name or was the older one reactivated?
@AL:
I tried, and it worked, even though I had already done a similar offer in the past.
Do you know when this offer expires?
@AL:
This is a different offer than the one I posted earlier.
Just try and see if it lets you signup, as long as it does your first month will be free!
can i use this one if at some point i already got free trials from of all 3 in the last year?
