Step 1

Choose the easiest way to send your credit report.

You do not need to download a PDF. You can take clear screenshots of your report and select them directly from your phone’s Photos or Gallery. A downloadable PDF is also welcome when available.

Where might your report come from?

Credit reports are commonly available from a variety of consumer credit-report providers and other legitimate sources, including, for example, Credit Karma, myFICO, Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, or a mortgage broker or lender who has provided you with a copy of your report.

Credit Optimize is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of these providers. These examples are provided only to help you identify a report you may already have.
