Map Your Credit - Credit Report Disclaimer and Service Agreement

File Disclosure

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows a consumer to obtain a disclosure from every Credit Reporting Agency (CRA) of the nature and substance of all information in his/her file at the time of the request. Full disclosure of information in a consumer’s file at Equifax, Experian or TransUnion must be obtained directly from the CRA by calling:
Equifax: 1-800-685-1111
Experian: 1-800-397-3742
TransUnion: 1-800-916-8800

Map Your Credit is not a CRA. Map Your Credit provides services and communication mechanisms for consumers to obtain their credit reports, credit scores, credit monitoring services, and/or fraud prevention services, and assumes no responsibility or liability for information contained therein.

Under certain conditions, a consumer is entitled to receive a disclosure from the CRA free of charge. Consumers are entitled to receive a disclosure from the CRA free of charge under the following circumstances:

  • Denial of credit, insurance or employment within the past sixty (60) days as a result of information contained in one’s credit report
  • Certification in writing of unemployment and intention to apply for employment in the 60-day period beginning on the date of certification
  • Recipient of public welfare assistance
  • Consumer has reason to believe that his/her file at the agency contains inaccurate information due to fraud

Otherwise, the CRA may impose a reasonable charge for the disclosure.

The FCRA permits a consumer to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in his/her credit file. However, accurate and verifiable information cannot be changed.

Consumers do not have to purchase their credit report or other information from Map Your Credit in order to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information in their Equifax, Experian or TransUnion credit file.

Consumers residing in the states of Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey and Vermont may receive an additional free copy of their credit file once per year and residents of the state of Georgia may receive two copies per year. For Illinois residents, CRAs are required by law to give consumers a copy of their credit report upon request at no charge or for a nominal fee.

The FCRA also allows consumers to obtain one free disclosure of all the information in their credit file from each CRA – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion once every 12 months. To request your free annual credit report as per the FCRA, you must go to www.annualcreditreport.com. The services on this web site are not related to the free FCRA disclosure.

The credit file being purchased from Map Your Credit is not intended to constitute the disclosure of Equifax, Experian or TransUnion information as required by the FCRA or similar state laws.
