How to Get Your Beacon Score Online

A Beacon credit score is the name of your credit score from Equifax. Each of the three credit bureaus (Trans Union, Equifax and Experian) has different names for the credit score it provides; however, each score is derived from the Fair Isaac model. This ensures consistency in the way items on your report affect your credit score. Each year, you are entitled to a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com. While this report does not include a free score, you have the option to purchase one from Equifax or any of the other credit bureaus.

Instructions
