Gorbah 0 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Seriously... How does one find and/or obtain the credit file number from an online report? Kind of lost here. I've tried calling all three credit bureaus and they suggested I get my free annual report to obtain it because they couldn't verify it's me. Any thoughts or recommendations?

Harry Seaward 1,357 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 The # for the online versions show near the top of the printable versions of the reports you get directly from each CRA. You can get these from www.annualcreditreport.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gorbah 0 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Maybe I'm just getting too old and dumb. I know that site you can download the PDF and gives you the file number like you said. I'm referring to the bureau site directly. For example experian.com or freecreditscore.com. Is the only place that gives the file number annualcreditreport.com?
