The three major credit bureaus have set up a central website, toll-free telephone number, and mailing address that you use to order your free credit reports.

•Toll-free Telephone Number: 877-322-8228

The three credit reporting bureaus will not send you an email or call you asking you for personal information, so don't respond to such requests.

If you receive an email, don’t respond or click on any links in the email as there are plenty of scams that attempt to obtain your personal information.

You should only access the website directly .
