Where is the best place to find out your credit score?

Thanks. Two of them have the $1 free trial. Any reason to do all three? I'm pretty new to this.

I only see where you have to pay for the $1 free trial. How do you get the free one or do they offer you this trial once a year?

Is credit karma as accurate as the rest? I think I may have found out how to get the other three for free, it said you must go to annualcreditreport.com. Sound right?

Also, how good must your credit be to qualify for 0% financing on your first car loan? I'm not shopping for one now, just trying to get an idea if I'll be eligible for it.

The annual credit report will give you the report not the score. You have to pay extra for the credit score unless you go to credit karma. But credit karma isn't completely accurate but it should be close

I use Myfico to get my scores.

So do I. You can get all 3 but there's a cost. But, it's accurate.

I find credit karma to be very inaccurate. By a long shot.

Ya it has its quirks. Especially if an account closes that had a negative remark. It will think you no longer have that mark when you do.

After Credit Karma, there is Credit Sesame, and Quizzle. All try to mirror each of the individual bureaus.

Discover It and Barclay World Arrival give free periodic credit scores

Go directly to Experian, Transunion and Equifax.

The scores you get directly from the bureaus aren't FICO scores. I know how shitty that sounds but it's just another way for them to make money. This is from the Equifax site:

The Equifax Credit Score is intended for your own educational use. It is also commercially available to lenders along with numerous other credit scores and models in the marketplace. Please keep in mind lenders are likely to use a different score when evaluating your creditworthiness.

If you want your accurate scores, go to MyFico as some have already mentioned. You will have to pay but if you're trying to apply for credit, it's likely worth it. CreditKarma may or may not be close to your actual score due to it being a different scoring model than FICO. Mine is usually WAY off from my actual FICO score but I've read where some people say their's is actually pretty close. There's a reason people refer to scores other than FICO scores as "fakos."
