Question by Lina:
To find out your credit score,?
why isin’t it free anymore, or easier? I used to check with my Washingto Mutual (wamu) credit card website, you could just go on and find out your score there, along w/ your acct. info. Now, you have to sign up for scketchy looking sites, and a few make u put in your credit card info. (I didin’t.) Does anyone know why it changed, (Chase doesn’t allow you to check your score from the credit card bureaus.) and what’s a good, free and extremely secure site? Thank you.

I don’t know of one that gives your score for free. You can get one free report from each of the three reporting agencies at http://www.annualcreditreport.com
This is a legitimate site, but they do try to upgrade you to paid services.

Each credit bureau has a free site:
http://www.credit.com
http://www.CreditKarma.com
http://www.quizzle.com
These are their own scores, not the Fi co score that banks use.
Major lenders like FHA do not go by the score.
They view your reports in detail and make their own decisions.
So sweat the reports and not the scores.
View your reports once a year at annual credit report. com
If you know how to maintain and keep perfect credit there is very little need for scores.

The FDIC closed Washington Mutual (not because of this) and Chase never offered the service. The reason that it is no longer available is because Washington Mutual is no longer around to offer it.
You can get a score for free at http://www.creditkarma.com but that score is used only by that site; it is not the score that matters.
You can also pay for a score.
