Free Credit Reports are easy to get. Free credit scores are more challenging.
Free credit reports have been around for some time. You can get three reports a year by going to Annual Credit Report. Be very careful not to go to other sites, because they usually trick you into signing up for something that you possibly don’t want. One such example is FreeCreditReport.com, which runs commercials on television. They sign you up for credit monitoring that costs $14.95 if you don’t cancel within a 7-day free trial (I’ll show you later how to get free credit [...]

Hack Your Credit Score?
March 19th, 2008 — , credit from Lazy Man @ Lazy Man and Money
When I was at Prosper’s annual conference, CEO Chris Larsen flashed through an interesting slide. It showed a borrow with a grade D credit score having gotten a loan at 1% interest. This is far from the norm. Often someone with a credit score will end with an interest rate over 20%. When we looked deeper into this loan, there was only one lender for the full amount.
I suspect that the lender was a friend or family member. If so, this seems like an interesting way to ensure that debts are paid back. It [...]
