    Default Free credit report mandated by government?

    I have forgotten the name of the website where you can order a free credit report once a year as mandate by the government? Can anyone tell me how I can find out how long ago I got my free credit reports through that website? I need new ones and don't want to pay for them (obviously).

    Yeah, this is it. However, my question may have gotten lost. I need to know how I can find out WHEN I received my credit report(s) last year so that I will know when I qualify again?

    Try to get your report and if it hasn't yet been a year the site will tell you.

    In the past I've been able to get one per year from each of the three credit reporting agencies. So what I've done is request one about every four months from each.
