I just checked out the Quizzle site and they do offer a credit score for free but I don’t see anywhere that’s it’s a FICO score (the agencies sometimes have their own version which isn’t what many lenders use).

Do you know that the score you get is your FICO score?

[...] My Experience With myFICO by Free From Broke – FFB’s experience with myFICO mirrors my own. I highly recommend it as the easiest, most direct way to get your credit score. I’ve written in great detail how other credit reporting sites are scams at worst and a bad deal at best (such as freecreditreport.com). As I’ve written before, annualcreditreport.com is the only place to get your absolutely free credit report and myFICO.com is the best place to get your FICO score. [...]

You can get your Experian credit score for free at Quizzle.com.

I think so. Especially if you have a major purchase coming up!

I haven’t used MyFico yet, but I have used the Equifax service. It’s always good to keep up with your scores.

You can go directly to http://www.transunion.ca/ or https://www.econsumer.equifax.ca/index_en.html to check your credit scores.

with transunion.ca you can get JUST your score for $7.95, you can get your score and an interpretation of it an ‘analysis’ for $14.95.

with equifax.ca you can get your credit score and and credit report for $23.95

You have the option to get a ‘credit watch’ feature with either, but you don’t have too. I choose not too b/c I’m not so worried about it. I’ve checked once before, and plan to again in the next month or so now that my credit card is paid off.

Currently the FICO Standard option is $15.95 per agency (you pay once for TransUnion and Equifax). I was able to find a discount code online which lowered the price to under $50 for both my score and my wife’s from both agencies.

Are all three FICO scores? Just curious. I’m sure there must be other places to get your FICO score I’m just most familiar with myFICO.
