Ask Terry Questions credit reports

credit reports

By Terry Savage on August 29, 2023 | Credit/Debt

I order my credit reports every year from the source listed on the FTC website for all three credit bureaus. I order by phone and they always come promptly… except this year. I ordered on June 12th and again on July 13th and they have not arrived. I suspect the problem is they are mailing them without my apartment number. I can fix that to make sure they have that detail. My question is: will I be penalized (ie credit rating dinged) if I keep ordering them until they arrive?

You should get your credit report ONLINE through www.AnnualCreditReport.com. That way you won’t have to worry about the mail. It is much more secure.
