What is a credit union?
A credit union is a cooperative, not-for-profit financial institution organized to promote thrift and provide credit to members. It is member-owned and controlled through a board of directors elected by the members. The board serves on a volunteer basis and may hire a management team to run the credit union. The board also creates and revises policies, sets dividend and loan rates, and directs certain operations. The result: Members are provided with a safe, convenient place to save and borrow at reasonable rates at an institution which exists to benefit them, not to make a profit.

How do I obtain a free credit report?
A credit report contains information on where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued or filed for bankruptcy. Nationwide consumer reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) sell the information in your report to creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses that use it to evaluate your application for credit, insurance, employment, or renting a home.
When you order a report, you will need to provide your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth. To verify your identity, you may need to provide some information that only you would know, like the amount of your monthly mortgage payment.
The official contact information is www.annualcreditreport.com or by phone at 877-322-8228. Annualcreditreport.com is the only authorized source for consumers to access their credit reports online for FREE. The free report, however, is not scored.
