National CRA\'s

CRA's (Consumer Reporting Agencies) are controlled and governed by the FCRA.

CRA's are not just limited to the Big Three Credit Bureaus. They are any agency that compiles AND reports consumer data.

As we find them, we will list them here for you.

Effective December of 2004, the law gives you the ability to get a FREE annual report from these agencies. Please feel free to print out this page.

While their website DOES NOT make it easy to find where to order your "Free" report, when possible, we have included their mailing address and phone number.

Please let us know if you learn of another company or if you should find that the information on our list is outdated. These businesses tend to change PO Boxes frequently.
