Hi Tintin,

Welcome to the forums. Hearing from you after a long time. Hope that you must be having a wonderful time.

Yes, credit reports are offered free of cost in many parts of America. Credit reports help in understanding the latest financial position of an individual and based on this track record, a person acquires new credit.

It is very important to keep the credit report clean as it is one of the most important financial documents of an individual and based on this report, his credit worthiness is analyzed.

Hope that you will further keep on posting helpful information in the forums for community welfare.

Keep in touch.
Regards
Roxette
