    • Step 1

      Write to Equifax and request your credit report. The address is P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta Georgia, 30374. In your letter be sure to include your name, address and social security number to ensure they send you the correct report. Expect to pay a nominal fee to get a copy of your credit report.
    • Step 2

      Visit the Equifiax.com website and request a copy of our credit report. Be alert when you visit the Equifax website. There are many offers for monitoring your credit and protecting your identity. Make sure you actually request a copy of your credit report and not inadvertently sign up for an unwanted service.


    • Step 3

      Get a free copy of your Equifax credit report, along with the credit reports from TransUnion and Experian, by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com. AnnualCreditReport.com is a website that allows consumers to order their credit reports from all three credit reporting agencies for free once a year. This site is the only such site that is endorsed by the Federal Trade Commission.
    • Step 4

      Review your Equifax credit report and compare the information to the information on the report from the other two credit reporting agencies (TransUnion and Experian). Ensure that all of the information is correct.
