When you go thru www.annualcreditreport.com you will be directed to 3 different websites for TU, EX and EQ. Each CRA has a different way of verifying that you are indeed the consumer whose report you are attempting to access. If you do not answer the questions correctly, then you will have to request in writing providing them with proof of ID. If you move, you will likely update your new address with your creditors. They, in turn, will update their internal records and will report your new address to the CRA's the next time they report.
