Also, you are allowed to pull your credit from all three credit agencies at least once a year for free. I don't have the website, but I think it was posted by someone else. However, if you want the FICO score associated with it, you might have to pay an additional $5.95, but it is worth it and you have access to your score and report for 30 days.
I pulled my report at the beginning of the year. So now how can I get the FICO score? I thought the score would have been on the report but it wasn't.

Thank you for replying to my initial question.
