if you like yes, they give you the opportunity while on the phone to decide just one or all three.

since you get one free from each bureau each year, I plan to order one every 4 months or so. the reports don't always have the same info but at least it keeps my eyes on the info on a regular basis.

to add: I was already checking my credit regularly when they started giving you the free one, if you haven't checked before or in a long time, I would probably go ahead and get all three at once. that will make it easier to spot any glaring discrepancies that you may need to clean up.

Yeah! I finally got around to signing up for the free trial at myfico.com (thanks for the link). I have a 789 and DH has a 774!! Woohoo!
I was surprised to see a cc account listed as open that I had closed several months ago...will have to follow up on that one. I was also surprised to see cc accts I had closed years ago still listed - anyone know how long they stay on and if they affect your score in terms of how long they were open? Thanks!

I also signed up for the free trial at myFICO.com (and I thankya for the link, too!) Back in September, I paid the $7 or so for my score from Equifax, and it was 773. Today, after cleaning up my credit reports (read my rant/any others? thread here), it's up to 809.

In CA everything stays on your credit report for 7 years, I have heard some states only keep things for 5 years.
