Q: Everyone is entitled to a free credit report from each of the three offices each year. If LifeLock request reports on behalf of a client, the client can also request a free report from each bureau directly in the same calendar
A: You are entitled to a free report from each of the 3 year credit credit bureaus. You can request these free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com, a central website sponsored by all three offices. When LifeLock request credit reports on behalf of its clients, these reports will count towards your limit of an office by a year. However, when you buy a credit report from one of the credit bureaus, or when you receive free credit reports credit monitoring services such as CreditCheck Total, or other theft protection services identity such as identity Guard, that are not related to your 3 free reports and do not count against this limit. If you buy credit reports or receive from a credit monitoring service, you can always ask three free reports a year from AnnualCreditReport.com.
