annualcreditreport.com is the legit one.

The others are not free.

annualcreditreport.com does not give a credit score unless you pay one of the 3 credit companies for it.

Ditto, I just helped a friend do his the other day. You don’t get a score unless you pay for it. And annualcreditreport is the right one. You only get one per year, so the suggestion is to do all three at once, (to make sure there is nothing inaccurate on any of them, and then the next year, to do one every 4 months. You can do as you see fit, but that’s just a common suggestion. Some Credit Cards will give you your score when you log in (if you have an account), I know Washington Mutual did, but that my Chase (who bought them) does not. Your’s might if you want the score for free. Good luck!

Is it true that checking your credit score too often can harm your credit score?
