Credit Report

If you go to www.equifax.com you are allowed to download and print 1 credit report a year for free, under a certain law passed regulating credit.

I totally ruined it today. I was using the library computer to get this report. In the middle of the application process, I was notified that I have 2 minutes left on my 1/2 hour session. I clicked on 'print' just in time before it wiped off my session. However, my library print account didn't have enough money in it to cover the cost of the print. Jr ran to put money in the machine for my account, but to no avail. By the time money was in my account, my session was completely wiped off.

I started a new session, and went to Equifax. There's no shot at retrieving that file. You're allowed to look at it for free in one session, once a year. So if the electricity goes out while you're looking at the report or anything, you lose your chance. Of course there is no customer service number that has humans on it to retrieve it for you.

Now, if I want those 3 reports from them I'll have to pay $90.
