Are there any real free credit reports online? All of the others say they are free but they are really not?

They say they are free but they want you to type in your credit card number to continue on.

Question about credit at 18 years old?

destructfashion asked:


I just turned 18 about 10 days ago, and I tried opening a checking account with bank of America, but received the following notification a few days later:

“We are unable to open your account(s) at this time. Our decision was based in whole or in part on information obtained in a report from a consumer-reporting agency.”

I’m assuming this means that it wasn’t opened because of information on my credit report. However, up until this point I haven’t been able to sign up for anything that involves credit, so shouldn’t I not really have a credit report? Considering that a checking account just involves me using money in my own account, I don’t know why it would be turned down based on a lack of credit.

Also, I tried checking my credit report online but every site requires a credit card number (even if the service is free), and I don’t have a credit card because I was a minor until about a week or so ago. So I don’t know how to check my credit report either.

Any tips on either of these things?
