How to Get a FICO Score From Equifax

Consumers are entitled to a free copy of their credit report every 12 months; however, the credit bureau does not provide the FICO score (credit score). If you want to view your FICO score from Equifax, your best option is to deal with Equifax directly, rather than a third-party provider. The Equifax product you'll need is called "Score Power," which includes your Equifax FICO score and report; the standalone FICO score is unavailable unless you are ordering your free annual report.
