So two or so years ago I got a 'free' credit report. The information I got was free to find the company trying to subtract $15 a month from me as a subscription.
Does anyone know where I can get a free (if not free, a one time fee) credit report? I need it to be accurate and such.
I know a bunch of laws changed starting in 2011, maybe someone could educate me a bit!

You can get free credit report yearly.
Make sure you have plenty of time to register ( 2 hrs?), but as soon you register, the next log in is easy. You just need to remember all the answers for the security questions.
creditkarma.com offers a credit score for free. You can check it as many times as you want. I believe it is called fake fico. A guesstimate of sorts. When I purchased my new car I checked credit karma first, then had the CU pull my score. Credit karma was off by 50 points.
Yes, you can get a free credit report yearly via https://www.annualcreditreport.com. What I do is request one every four months from a different source: i.e., Experian in January, TRW in May, the last one in Sept.
P.S. Thanks for creditkarma. I'll check it out.
