How to get your free credit report

You've probably seen and heard the commercials offering free credit reports but which websites are really free?


Comsumer reporter John Matarese says people still complain about being taken for a ride when it comes to those free sites.


So just in time for back to school John Matarese has a quick refresher course in free credit reports 101.


The official website for a free credit check is annualcreditreport.com.


But he says to be careful when searching for free credit sites. He says when he did a search several popped up which can be very misleading.


Certain imposter sites include: freecreditreport.com which can cost you $12 a month. Another site charges users $29 a month.


He says to remember that most sites that advertise a "free credit report are not free.
