How do you get a free instant credit score?

You can obtain your free instant credit score at Credit.com, according to the website. Credit.com does not require you to enter credit card information, and you can receive your score every 30 days.

Law regulates that you have the right to obtain a free credit report once every year, states About.com. However, this does not include your credit score, and there are very few places that provide your credit score for free.

The three major credit reporting bureaus use the information on your credit report to generate the score. Some factors considered when computing the score include the type of credit on the report and your payment history, advises About.com.
