Starting Wednesday, Texans and other southern state consumers can get a free copy of their credit report as part of changes under federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act to combat identity theft.
Consumers can get a free copy of their credit report every 12 months. Requests can be made online or by calling (877) 322-8228.
2. Everyone reading this article should ignore the links in the #1 reply. The ONLY official US Government-backed source of free credit reports is:
http://www.annualcreditreport.com/
Anything else is likely a scam and could lead to identity theft.

1. Just be weary, many of the places that claim free credit repoerts, force you into a free trial membership. The only legit one that I know of is AnnualCreditReport.com . It is directly associated with the Big 3 credit agencies.
