No, not really.

They’ll give you the credit report for free, but what you’re looking for is a “beacon score” or FICO score or something like that.

For that, they generally charge, like, 8 bucks or something.

It’s kind of a scam, but whatever.

They know the score is what you really want to know, so they either make you sign up for something or pay them or do something so they get paid.

Free report, yes.

Free score, doubt it.

If I choose “credit” w/ my Visa check card, is it reported to Transunion, etc, like a credit card transaction?

Question by stuart m: If I choose “credit” w/ my Visa check card, is it reported to Transunion, etc, like a credit card transaction?
When you choose “credit” with your visa check card instead of “debit” and you have sufficient funds in your checking account to cover the charge, is the charge nonetheless reported to the three credit agencies as a credit transaction? I want to know because my credit report said my FICO score will increase if I reduce my debt to income ratio.

Neither check card transactions nor credit card transactions are reported to the three credit reporting agencies. Credit card BALANCES are reported (monthly or less often) to the credit reporting agencies, but individual transactions are not and neither are check card balances.

How many points are taken off your credit score when a credit check is done?

Question by bendavis19792003: How many points are taken off your credit score when a credit check is done?

Best answer:

Answer by housemouseref
It depends on what type of company pulled your credit. Example, if you are shopping for a car loan, supposedly, you have up to 5 credit pulls within a 30 day time frame during which your score will not drop. It also depends on how solid your credit score is to begin with. If you have great credit with no lates, it probably won’t pull the score down. What type of credit are you shopping for?

Question by djc07: What can a prospective employer see in a credit check done to a prospective employee?
What I mean is can they actually go into detail with your accounts, etc.? OR do they only see you “credit rating” or “score”?? Someone with experience as an employer or manager, please help me out with this one. I am going to have a credit check done on me for a job, and my credit if considered “fair” because I don’t have a long credit history, but I need a little info.

Does background check usually means “credit score” check?

Question by Cuto C: Does background check usually means “credit score” check?
I own money to two cell phone companies. Sum up all together is almost $ 1000. Chase bank will interview me on Monday and I think they might do a background check. I have never been convicted for a felony…I only owe this money.

Will I still get hired??? What should I do? order my credit score and pay these debt?

Best answer:

Answer by Tina
You should pay the debt. A bank is definitely going to check your credit report before hiring you. They normally will not hire someone with bad credit, they feel there is a great chance of theft that way.
