The four main ways to view your credit score are:

• Check your credit or loan statements: Many credit card companies and lenders provide your credit score on your monthly statement or online account

• Talk to a nonprofit credit or housing counselor: These counselors can provide you with a free credit report and score and help you understand and improve it

• Use a credit score service or free credit score website: Various companies offer free or paid credit score services, sometimes including credit monitoring and identity protection

• Buy your credit score from one of the major credit reporting agencies: You can purchase your credit score directly from Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion, or from FICO

These options provide different types of credit scores, such as FICO or VantageScore, and scores may vary slightly depending on the source and scoring model used
