Best and Quickest Way to Obtain US Credit Report?
« on: May 06, 2012, 10:04:27 PM »
I will be moving into a new apartment at the end of the month and the landlord would like us to provide him with a credit report. He would ideally like to have it by Tuesday if possible. Is this feasible and how do I go about getting it? I've Googled but I would prefer having a suggestion so I'm not entering sensitive information into unfamiliar websites.

Thanks!  :)

Is this a private landlord? I only ask because essentially all property management firms have access to credit and police report information for prospective tenants. Your 'application fee' - typically $35 for an individual or $50 for a married couple covers this. A small owner-managed property might not, but if you have been charged an application fee (not to be confused with the security deposit) I would question why you are being asked for a credit report.

Married December 1992 (my 'old flame' whom I first met in the mid-70s)
1st move to UK - 1993 (Letter of Consent granted at British Embassy in Washington DC)
ILR - 1994 (1 year later - no fee way back then!)
Back to US in 2000
Returned to UK July 2011 (Spousal Visa/KOL endorsement)
ILR - September 2011
Application for naturalization submitted July 2014
Approval received 15-10-14; ceremony scheduled for 10 November!
Passport arrived 25 November 2014. Finally done!
