Can I check my credit score at a bank?

Under the new provisions of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act), if you apply for credit (car loan, HELOC, mortgage) the lender must provide you with either a Credit Score Disclosure or a Notice to Home Loan Applicant (for mortgages and lines of credit).

This disclosure states that in connection with your credit application, the lender or broker must provide you the score that was reported by credit bureaus as well as the factors that affected your credit score.

But, if you%26#039;re just walking into a bank and asking for a credit score? Forget about it. That won%26#039;t happen. Most if not all banks aren%26#039;t going to spend the money on a credit report and credit score if you%26#039;re not applying for a loan. What%26#039;s in it for them?

And it doesn%26#039;t make sense to apply for credit just so you can get your credit score because each time you apply for credit, your credit score will be adversely affected.

Also, keep in mind, different lenders use different credit scoring systems. Fair Isaac (FICO) is only one. There is also Empirica and Beacon scores. So depending on which model(s) your lender uses, your score will vary.

Can I check my credit score at a bank?

yes. What you want to do is find the bank manager. The more time you spend with him, the better. He knows all about the different things going on at the bank. He will sit down with you and have a long discussion about what kind of credit you have with the bank. You can tell him how good of an investment was all the hamburgers and tacos you ate last week. He might actually agree with you too. In fact, lets put all the banks money in hamburgers and tacos. Well, were are we going to get money. I know, lets check, uh, I have to use the restroom.

All you have to to is go online and once a year you can get your free credit report. Also anytime you fill out any sort of application,and if you are refused you may reques a copy of your credit report.

Lots of bad info here.

First you can get your 3 major credit reports(Equifax, Experian %26amp; Transunion) free once a year from www.annualcreditreport.com. When you %26quot;pull%26quot; your credit reports here it will not have an inquiry that will affect your score.

The ONLY place you can get a FICO credit score(the one that lenders use) is at www.myfico.com/12. It will cost you $45.00 but you will get all three bureau scores and the top 4 reasons why your scores are%26#039;t higher for each bureau. If you see any other %26quot;credit score%26quot; advertised and doesn%26#039;t use the words FICO score it is only an %26quot;estimated%26quot; score and in my opinion worthless. If you don%26#039;t believe me then check out the fine print and it will say something like %26quot;this score is an estimate of your creditworthiness and should not be confused with a scoring model that a lender might use. The scores we offer are in no way related to Fair Isaac Co. (FICO) scores.%26quot;

While you are at www.myfico.com check out the Credit Education section. If you learn that section and understand it you will know more than 80% of the population and definitely more than most posters here.

If you go to a lender and apply for credit, the inquiry the make will lower your FICO credit score. How much will depend on the type of inquiry they make(revolving, installment), the amount and type of imquiries you have had in the past, and your current credit profile. Some people have documented that one inquiry will lower a credit score up to 12 points. Also, usually only a mortgage lender will disclose your scores to you and they pull a 3 bureau score because mortgages are priced (interest rate you pay) based on the middle score.
