FULL STORY:
The nation's top credit reporting bureaus are pulling up their skirts to give
consumers a full view of their personal credit files. While Equifax and
Experian offer online access to credit files and the dispute process, both
firms are gearing up to reveal personal credit scores. This week, Experian
announced that by summer consumers will be able to access risk scores online as
well as an education resource about how to interpret the scores and steps to
take to improve the scores which range from 340 to 820. Exoerian will offer the
score information via its new web site
www.CreditExpert.com. The risk score will be
available for $6. Last month, Equifax announced it will shortly make available
an online package of consumer credit information that includes an individual
Equifax Credit Profile, a BEACON score, and a personalized score analysis. The
FICOŽ score is also calculated on the Equifax Credit Profile. The services are
available via Equifax's web site
http//www.equifax.com.
