How do the companies advertising free credit reports make money?

free credit reports 3 Comments »

What is their business model? They advertise a lot on the Internet and TV, they must be profitable.

Ever notice the FreeCreditReport.com commercials always end with "offer applies with enrollment in Triple Advantage" ??

Triple Advantage is a service where they charge $10/month to your credit card… and in return, you get your report from the 3 bureaus each month. I’ll go out on a limb and assume there’s some ridiculous fee for cancelling the service.

The only FREE site is AnnualCreditReport.com (or you can go to each bureau’s site individually). It’s run by one of the bureaus, and allows you to get your credit report from each of the bureaus absolutely free once per year (as mandated by the government).

What does your credit score start out as?

I just turned 18 in the end of October. What would my credit score be now? What does it start out as? What is the eastiest way to build your credit score? How long does it take to build your credit? Do you get points per month or what?

it starts off as nothing. If you get negative info it starts at 300 and up.
when you create credit for about 3 months you will get a score. After about 6 months it will create a history report of statistics, only for getting more credit(you will not see this).Credit depends on many things, 1 credit card on a blank credit can get you a 700 it doesnt mean banks will trust you. It takes time and accounts being paid back.

My home mortgage will reset in a few months. If I bring down all my credit card balances to 0 now, how soon will my credit reports reflect this; thus improve my credit scores?

Creditors report once per month, usually on the last business day of each month.
