When googling for a free credit report, you have to be very careful because it could be tricky sometimes if you don't pay attention to the specific website URL. For instance, if your goal is to get a credit report without spending a dime, you have to type the proper website address and not ending up on websites which offer a free credit report for a period of 30 days or even worst seven days only.

To get a Free Credit Report, you have to type www.annualcreditreport.com on your browser or Annual Credit Report on google search bar. This website offers a total free service. You can access 3 reports without going over through a trial period. After using the service then you're done.

If you will type in www.freecreditreport.com, you will be directed to a website where you have to sign up freecreditreport.com offers a 30 day trial period. You are allowed to pull out credit report from Experian only. If you wish to pull out your report from TransUnion then you have to pay for a certain fee which will be billed a month after you made the transaction. This also applies to Equifax. Another thing you have to remember is that, if don't call and cancel your account a month before the trial period ends, you will be surprised to see a charge in your credit card bill for the following month.
