Let’s say that you want to get a TransUnion credit report. TransUnion is one of the three major credit reporting agencies that allow you to get your credit report free of charge. To receive a copy of your TransUnion credit report you can do one of two things; you can send a written request to TransUnion asking them to send you the free annual copy of your credit report and wait around 6 weeks from the time they receive your letter to actually get it in the mail. The other option for getting your TransUnion credit report is by going online.

Once you’re online, you can go to the TransUnion website, which should tell you how to request your TransUnion credit report online. Another option that you have is to go to www.annualcreditreport.com. This website will allow you to view your TransUnion credit report and also your credit report from Experian and Equifax. Simply supply them some information, verify that information for them, and in minutes you will be looking at your credit report.

Another option for receiving your TransUnion credit report is to go to a credit mentoring company online and request it. These companies allow you to review your credit report for up to thirty days free of charge, while monitoring your credit report and letting you know of any changes. The catch to these companies is that after thirty days, they start charging you a monthly fee to monitor your credit.

Remember, if you receive your TransUnion Credit Report online, or a report from any other company, you need to print a copy of it out and store it in a safe place for future reference.
