How to access your credit score for free Many credit card companies, financial institutions and personal finance manager apps provide your credit score for free. FICO® (Fair Isaac Corporation) and TransUnion VantageScore® are two companies that calculate credit scores and provide them to lenders. LGFCU uses the FICO scoring system. Members who have a loan with the Credit Union or an active LGFCU Visa® Credit Card can see their FICO credit score for free in Member Connect. The Credit Union receives FICO scores from Equifax on a quarterly basis. The free credit reports from the three major credit bureaus don’t include credit scores. Should I pay for my credit score? If you’ve had trouble managing credit in the past and think your low credit score could affect your chances of getting a loan, you may want to buy a copy of your most recent credit score. You also have an option to add your score to your credit report at the time you order it from each credit bureau. MyFICO.com is another source to purchase your credit score. Next Steps Get a copy of your credit report. If you have an active LGFCU loan or credit card, check your credit score in Member Connect. If you suspect something is wrong, put a credit freeze in place.
